Top Ten reasons for having a Parking Brake in a Cozy

Top ten reasons for having a parking brake in a Cozy:

10. Saves having to keep you're feet on the brakes during runup
9. Makes you feel less rushed during pre takeoff checks
8. Helps you remember what it was like to fly a 172
7. Stops the plane moving about the patio when you're working on the back end
6. Lets you stop REALLY quickly if you engage it before touch down
5. Gives you another lever in the cockpit to impress people with
4. Something to scratch you're left knee on during long flights
3. more weight at the front. Saves using ballast
2. Another place to check for leaks

and, finally, with apologies to Jim Sower, the number 1 reason for having
a parking brake in a pusher......


















Stops the plane running off by itself and ramming a hanger when 
you hand prop it on full throttle with no-one in the plane.
