Nose wheel sinking into ground when applying the brakes

Post by jburrell20 »

Hi all. Just wondered if anybody could help me, I love flying the PA 320 family aircraft, but whenever I apply the brakes the nose wheel and front of the aircraft sink into the ground. this is really annoying, have tried several things to stop it but it still there.

if anybody has a solution I would be much appreciative..

Thanks. Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I have also had this issue in the past, most obvious thing to do first is check the aircraft isn't overweight! Simplest thing to do is remove fuel from the centre tank, as most A320 family aircraft fly with just wing tanks (As far as i know)!!!

Another thing you could try is download another PA320 model off avsim or something and copy the contact points from that aircraft to the one your using.
Last suggestion is the Brake Scale, could be set too high! I have 0.86 on my A320!

Hope this helps

Joe
