herky400M Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hello C-130 world, just out of curiosity, why does the C-130 have a left and right brake pedal (pilot - and co-pilot side)?? the best 2017 to ya all herkya400m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre623 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Herky400M, so the copilot has all the same functions (except nose wheel steering) that the pilot has for normal and emergency flying and landing. This IS a combat aircraft and there is the chance the pilot could be injured to the point that the copilot would need to operate and land the aircraft...ie, needs to stop.

tinyclark Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Doesn't a Cessna 172 have dual brake pedals? I thought all aircraft were like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPTestFE Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Not all tinyclark. Dual brakes in small GA planes were not standard back in the day. I used to fly a '68 Piper that only had brakes on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
