Setting Parking Brake On Runway Before Take Off
Getting some conflicting thoughts from pilots about the use of the parking brake on the runway, just wanted to see how others do it...
You are cleared to line up and wait on an active runway for departure. You are expecting a slight delay of 1-3 minutes before cleared to take off.
Do you set the parking brake whilst waiting or just use the toe brakes in case the parking brake gets jammed in the on position thus blocking the runway?
Has anyone ever had a parking brake become stuck in the on position on the runway prior to take off?
Cheers
