I do it now. About a month ago, brakes were fine on taxi out, three
hours later at touchdown and trying too hard to make the first turnoff
(an MD80 was hard on my heels) the right brake was zilch. In my
excitement I put a flat spot on the left tire before figuring out what
what was going on and letting it roll (11k ft. runway

Pumping it got about half the peddle back; would have been nicer to have
done that in the air!
