Simple question, when refuelling should brakes be on or off (for a

WF,

I just recently reallized that these even came with parking brakes.
lol My CFI never pointed them out to me and I never really noticed.

I'm not an idiot and you know it.

We both know you are though, don't we?

Did your CFI also fail to point out the POH, or did you just never notice it
existed as well?

I have the POH for it, C150/2, but haven't really gotten into it yet.
Unlike many here, I'm very new at this Steven.

I don't have as much to contribute, but at the same time I like to be
in the conversation if that's not too much to ask. Perhaps I should
wait until I get my CFII, ATP, 747 rating or an astronauts license
before I can join all you guys? lol

If you find yourself chasing the airplane across the ramp, the brakes
should probably be on.

Parking brakes shouldn't be used for extended periods; that's what
chokes are for.


I'm asking about refuelling, not parking per se.

What do you think is particular about refueling as opposed to any
other sort of short term parking other than attaching a static
ground to the airplane?

If you are alone with no one around to restrain the airplane, stop
the engine and release the brakes.

If the airplanes starts to roll, apply the parking brakes while you
restrain the airplane.

If it doesn't roll, don't apply the parking brakes.

I just don't see why you stopped makes the slightest difference.

Just bend over when you are told to, and maybe you can eventually visit the
treehouse club.

Sorry I don't bend over for anyone, no offense to your kind, but I'm
straight.

My instructor made me read the POH for the airplane we used cover to
cover and quizzed me on it.

If your's hasn't done that, you should do it on your own and have the
instructor explain anything you don't understand.

Don't feel bad. The misspelling most often seen in newsgroups is "chalks."
