Dani, I said lip not lid. If you have a look at your break pedal on the next flight, you will see a raised section at the top. I assume that it is there to prevent one's foot from going too high on the pedal. A few ex-B737 pilots place their foot on top of this raised area because that is the action they used on that plane. This makes it very difficult to "modulate" the application of brakes. A line training captain's main job is to identify a problem and find the solution. Amazingly when I asked the students who had this problem where their foot was on the pedal, every one had their feet as I have described. Every one of them had no problem after they changed the position of their feet. I realize that you might think this is stupid and it couldn't happen. I was only trying to help someone that might have the problem in the future. No more posts from me on this subject.
