Another little Gem.
.
If park brake was selected on and aircraft moved forward with 4 or more wheels rotating, pressing the toe brakes would have no effect as normal brakes are not avail in said condition.
.
Parking brake or Anti-Skid to off, then toe brakes should work we would like to think.
.
PS. Reason the centre gear don't work with parking brake is the centre gear leg is a different rake angle to mains, as aircraft gets loaded/unloaded all gear would be stressed a lot.
