9ES: Easy on the brakes please - (Archive)

This content has been archived; it may no longer be relevant.

We went through two tires within two weeks… the Twin Star’s brakes are quite effective!

Unless there is a good reason to come to a halt ASAP please be cautious and apply the brakes gently upon rollout so as to not cause flat spots and/or even a tire blowout.
When you practice a short field landing, simulate maximum braking by simply announcing so to your CFI or DPE while braking normally (i.e. gently).

You don’t want to have a tire blowout happen to you, yet alone away from KBFI.
