T.O. BMS1F-16CM-1
The parking brake when engaged holds the aircraft stationary without the use of wheel brakes.
Considering that a lightly loaded jet in BMS can move at idle power it is important to use parking
brakes to relieve the wheel brakes and their tendency to develop heat which decreases performance
and may present hazardous situations.
In the real jet the parking brakes are automatically de-energised when the throttle handle moves one
inch past the idle point. In BMS the parking brakes disengage automatically (that's why it is a
magnetic switch) above 80% RPM. There is no parking brake status indicator aside from the position
of the switch.
The EMER STORES JETTISON when depressed for more than 1 second jettisons all A-G stores and
external fuel tanks. A-A weapons and any HTS, TGP and ECM pods remain on board. While the
emergency jettison is depressed the MFD displays the SMS Jettison page.
