Todd, I've never been clear on the brakes issue from the rules/requirements standpoint. I've been told that if the jet does not roll at idle, brakes are not needed and that was the "rule" or "requirement". According to you what I've heard is false. After flying my ROO for the first time last week, I can see that it would be totally impractable not to have brakes on these turbine jets as runway length (and type of surface) would be a much larger issue without them. So have I heard fact or fiction?
