All,
The ON-OFF switch parking brake on the Bus seems a little too easy to use: easy to activate (very slight detent), exposed to hands and sleeves and feet etc., and totally separated from the normal braking system.
My best guess is that there's no "locked wheel" protection and a landing with the brake on would make a nice mess of the rolling stock.
Is there any type of visual or aural alert when the brake is inadvertently activated in the air? Anyone know of any incidents?
TIA.
