Again, as a low hours solo consolidation student I had completed some t+gs and landed when I was requested to expedite vacating for a twin coming in behind me.

So I kept the speed up to the end of the runway and tried to brake. Nothing.

I'd got my feet OVER the toe brakes!

I vacated on 2 wheels!

Lucky to get away with it, but I learned 2 things - not to get hassled in to making mistakes and to be certain that I know where and how the controls operate BEFORE I need them!
