Brakes engage when switching autobrakes off

I did read the introduction PDF before I ever flew the plane but didn't notice the issue for some time. By then I'd completely forgotten about it.

I believe you.....lost of new stuff to learn unless you are already familiar with the 777.

I'm having a similar issue. In my case, I arm the auto breaks on approach and as soon as I touch the ground, it see the autobreak legend on the screen and immediately they turn into breaks and engage as full 100% breaking (as RtO would say in a regelated take off) I

 

I'll try these suggestions. But has anyone experienced this as well ? It's annoying. Al landings end up in an emergency breaking instead of a smooth slow down.

 

Btw, I use auto breaks at 2.

What happens if you dont use any autobrakes?

They didn't engage.

 

But deleting the FSUIPIC.ini file and reinstalling FSUIPIC did the job.  

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

I have similiar problem - after landing (autobrake set on 2) I can't disengage autobrakes by pressing manual brake so the airplane nearly stops on runway.

...but, when I press trigger (I have assignment trigger to "." (brake) key) many many times, autobrakes finally unblocks. What can I do to release autobrakes after 1, 2 or max 3 short press on trigger?

Ps. I have Saitek X52 and I use Saitek SST software to buttons assignments.

Retracting the speedbrakes (put the lever fwd again) will also disarm the autobrakes.

 

Maybe you can assign a button (or better, an axis) to speedbrakes up/down so you dont have to look around in the VC during landing rollout.

This is from the Introduction manual. It may help.

 

To release the autobrake with your hardware toe brakes you must:
 Apply the brakes twice, quickly; and
 Apply greater pressure than the autobrake is currently applying.
This is different than the brake-directed disengage function on the airplane, but it was unavoidable.
