US Airways ERJ landing with parking brake in Houston?

[Red Moyayo]

Yesterday I saw some pictures of a US Airways ERJ-170 (I think) which landed in Houston with the park brake set.

Does anyone have any electronic copies of the images (or know where I can find them)?

Those pictures are of a US Airways A320 at FLL, about a year ago. Don't have any pictures of the E-170 at IAH.

:The story is the guys were at cruise trying to figure out how to BS the ACARS
This does surprise me somewhat. Usually, you can not set the parking brake unless both brake pedals are fully depressed.:confused:

Sounds like BS to me, especially seing only the left main gear brakes are locked. If you set the parking brake, all brakes are activated.

The above pictures from an A320 family aircraft may come from the so-called residual brake pressure incidents. Depending on operators they adapted procedures to check for any pressure on the analog brakes and accu press indicator beside the gear lever. Airbus' own procedure don't call for this check before landing.

Might the EMB170 have a similar problem?
