Parking Brakes?

[TSR2]

Just got a parking brake error? Whats this? Not something I've ever had before

Hello Mate..

I've had (am having) a break from the VA for a while and haven't flown with the latest client yet so I'm not sure what's what. The only way I think you could get that is if you started to move without having first applied the parking break. You can start the client and start the flight without it on but you have to have it on before you start to move. Of course.. the other side of the coin is that you didn't apply it before you hit END FLIGHT. LANDED doesn't really mean JS these days. The flight is considered ended when your parking brake is applied

Hi Ben,

The parking brake penalty is given if you end the flight in the client without having applied your parking brake. If you have pedals you need to ensure you don't knock them and inadvertently release the parking brake after applying them. I always check the client window to ensure parking brakes = yes before I hit the end flight button.

You and me both Amigo Surprising the amount of times I've seen 'FALSE' with the parking brake on but have left it a few moments and it has changed to TRUE as the client has updated
