PBE with the CRJ -Cannot reset the parking brake

[MarkW 1,490]

Chocks are removed and I can pushback normally, however, when I try to reset the parking brake it moves up slightly and then goes back down.  I can only set if I kill PBE.  Any ideas?

Hi Mark,

I've seen this occur with other controls when a lever or switch is configured on a joystick or other peripheral device.  PBE is trying to set the parking brake but something may be mapped to keep the brake in the off position.  Check your joystick mappings to see if there is a config for parking brake.

Thanks, will check.  I do have something mapped, although i don't use it.

Mark,
There's a CRJ option in the PBE Settings panel.  Ensure "hold toe brakes after pushback" is unselected.

Cheers,
