Touchdowns: Now my plane is slowing down all by itself

Featured Replies

I'm just noticing this now. I have no idea if it's from an update or if it's been this way for longer, but...

...after touchdown, my plane slows down all by itself, without needing to use my brakes. It doesn't stop completely but it slows down into the 20's ...I'd say approx. 1kt per second, perhaps even a bit more?

So far Ive tested with da62, c177,JF arrow. Checked my hardware and dead zones which seem to be acting normally.

Has it always been this way, and I've just not noticed till now?

I think i havent noticed it before because i've spent 100% of my time previously in the tbm and the tbm doesn't seem to have this issue.

Something putting your parking brake on while flying?

initially thats what i suspected...but i double checked the parking brake during final, and it was not engaged.

I think these smaller planes are just slowing down mostly on their own and nobody has really paid much attention to it 🙂

Hm, how fast (or slow?) does a GA aircraft slow down on idle on a tarmac runway? Less then 1 knot/second? I have no clue, but if there is a head wind at least ground speed should decline quite fast.

it takes maybe 20-30 seconds to slow to under 20kts...but i have not considered the winds. I will check that.

Related to the [ESC] bug. Just recycle parking brake twice before landing.
