Where are the breaks on a passanger jet?

Question

I know this is an odd question, but I want to be a pilot and I dont know. Is it a trigger they pull with there hand, or is there like a break down by the rudder pedals?

Answer 1

The brakes are applied by a pilot pressing pedals above the rudder pedals. These are called toe pedals.

Answer 2

For one its brakes. There are tow-brakes at the top of the rudder pedals. The actual assembly on the wheel is similar to disk brakes on a car. The system is Hydraulic as well.

Answer 3

Reverse thrust plus hydraulic wheel brakes.

Answer 4

There are brakes on the wheels but for high speed stopping

power they use reverse thrust on jets and reverse the blade

pitch on turboprops.  There are airflow "brakes" (spoilers)

on the wings that are effective at HIGH speeds.

Answer 5

There is also an autobrake k**b setting in which the pilot sets it for a certain setting and the computer will apply brakes automatically.

Answer 6

In addition to the brakes that are on the wheels flap extension reverse thrusters and speed brakes  assist in the process also.

Answer 7

Production breaks are between the major pieces.  The brakes for stopping are on the wheels, and are controlled with the rudder pedals.

Answer 8

The top of the rudder pedals are pushed forward for mechanical breaks.  The engines can also be reversed.  Most jets also have slats that can be raised and flaps lowered once on the ground to increase drag and reduce speed!
