Speculations idle trust buildup.

[david.lind]

Last night coming back from a 2,5 hour mission, (1h QRA) I experienced a "large" amount of idle trust, I used no power, and a lot of breaks to taxy back to the ramp. (latest 1.5.4, rainy conditions, UGKS09, WND 027 @ 8knt). When parking the parking break and/or normal breaks could not hold the aircraft still, I did manage to stop the A/C by a full nosewheel turn, and a quick engine shut-down.

 

I did not experience the same factors when starting up. (at least not to the same extent)

Leaving me with two questions.

 

- Is damage/wear to the breaks modelled?, i.e. if I break to much to I loose breaking power?

 

- Is there an inadvertent build up of idle trust? making the A/C faster at idle the longer you are airborne? (Could explain some of the speed and landing threads on the forum)

It's because of rain. There is a friction issue. Same with snow.
