AutoBrake disarm Light

Featured Replies

Hello,On today's flight I noticed that once airborne, if you select AutoBrake to RTO the amber light won't illuminate. In a real life I use it to remind me fuel when I'm xfeeding. It 's just a bug? can it be fixed?Thank you

The amber AUTO BRAKE DISARM light will not illuminate once airborne, this is normal system behaviour. There is no need to inform the flight crew that the auto brake system is disarmed because it should be disarmed when the airplane is in the air.

Hi mark, thanks. What I ment was that once airborne, the autobrake disarm wont illuminate. but, if u put the switch in the off position and then back to RTO, in a real life the amber light illuminates, but not in the NGX. As I said, I use this method when I'm xfeeding fuel, and the amber light remindes me....

That's true on classic, but on NGs (as I can see from FCOM as I was remembering only the classics) it comes on only if you land with RTO (and it works)FCOM vol 2 page 1186

I'm sorry, but on the 737-800NG that I fly, if on cruise the switch is OFF and I selected on RTO, the amber light illuminates.

I will check the manuals, as I told you, I was remembering the same as you, but, as I worked most on classics, I can confuse them sometimes.I used the FCOM to check, I'll do the same with my manuals.

I checked as well on the fcom, and I think it goes amber because the thrust levers are not in idle. Tomorrow I'm gonna fly, I'll try to do a photo if I'll remember.

No, on the classic the disarm light comes on for TOSC and will not extinguish because of the missing aircraft on ground signal.Maybe it is the same for the NG.I think you could send a ticket about it to let PMDG check this and eventually fix for sp2 (maybe too late for sp1c)
