The aircraft also had broken navigation lights, but I think the FAA guy cracked them with his flashlight during the inspection.

“braking system malfunctioned had undergone a brake-replacement job just four days prior, investigators said.”

DEI mechanic? Hey, at least there was diversity, equity and inclusion in the repair.

[LibertyOh]

Thank God the jet design still included thrust reversers. I recall a push by some to eliminate thrust reversers to save weight as the braking systems had improved so much that thrust reversers weren’t needed. Not needed until they are.

In before the Boeing bashing.

“The jet had received replacement brakes during maintenance just four days prior to the incident, according to the report.”

Identify the mechanics who worked on this and fire them.

I was on a Delta Commuter flight once that had started take-off and was almost at rotation speed when it had to abort because of an engine problem light. HARD breaking..... very scary and we got near the end of the runway. Had that happened here, the plane would have hit the end of the runway and the interstate highway beyond it.

Received from China? Or received but not put on?

What’s the schedule for brakes on planes - 30,000 miles?…
Sheesh…

I flew just yesterday. Our landing was like a tennis ball - bouncing several times before we got it right.. Our “pilot” looked like he was maybe 15…

The Boeing 737-823 model's automatic brakes switched from off to on and then off again immediately after landing, flight crew told the investigators. The pilot had to manually brake the pedalsand reverse the plane's thrusters to slow the engine,the NTSB report said.

Let Me Edit and Translate what they are trying to say in this POORLY WRITTEN and NOT EDITED BY ANYONE THAT KNOWS HOW TO BE CORRECT.

The Pilots had to actually depress the Rudder/Brake Pedal to make the brakes function. I'm going to speculate that the flexible brake hoses had been cross-connected and the Antilock System was freaking out because of that and was confusing the Antilock System as it was trying to pulse the brakes to obtain maximum stopping efficiency.

Thrust Reversers do not reverse the engine. They block the normal flow of thrust from the engines.

As far as jet engines are concerned there are three basic types of thrust reverser: Clamshell Door, Retractable Ejector, Cold Stream Cascade Reverser.

...reverse the plane's thrusters to slow the engine...

Engines are actually spooled up when thrust reversal is engaged to slow the plane.

Maybe they should get someone who knows a bit more about aviation to write these articles.
