Hi,Read somewhere that the autobreak switch in a 747 returns to it's 'OFF' position when the a/c comes to a complete stop. Is this also true in a real 737 and if it is, could it be modelled in the PMDG 737?

Autobrakes are deactivated and the switch returns to off when the rudder toe brakes are depressed.Edit... On the real steel aircraft :)

I would do a search for this. It has been discussed at length previously, and the real deal does not switch anywhere by itself. This is different from other boeings, but it is modelled correctly.

Hmm...two answers saying the opposite to each other but I'll do a search for it like you suggested. Not a big deal though, just curious...

Jeff gave the correct answer. It does not return to OFF on the 737.

OK, thanks for your answer Marc. Just ended a flight with my new X800 Pro and boy is this sim even more fun now with a graphics card that is able to deliver all the crisp details but still with a good FPS - I'm one happy virtual captain right now :-)

If you read the article on Avsims home page about flying the 744 you will learn that the 744 switches to OFF below a certain GS, 80kts if memmory serves. This is on a 747-400 class D simulator used/owned by UA. Not so on the 737.Regards

That the article I read, very interesting reading and I would recommend everyone to read it.

The autobrake in a 744/757/767/777 actually switches to the "DISARM" position after manual braking (it switches to OFF after takeoff from the RTO position).Iz
