Massive Bump From Behind During After-Start
-
Hi everyone,
Bought the 146 a couple of days ago. Learning the quirks of it, doing alright.
One thing that makes my head scratch however, is that when I'm done with pushback and during my after-start flow, I get this MASSIVE bump from behind, as if someone just ran into me at full speed while waiting at the lights. The plane gets thrown 10-20m forward and because I have the parking brake set at the time, brake temps spike to well over 750-C.
So I guess my question is; what on earth is going on?

It's been a while since I've flown the 146 (waiting for 2024 variant) - not sure if I remember something like that kick in the behind, but it did certainly have some awkwardness with GSX pushbacks.
Whenever a towbarless tug was used, the lifting action would somehow mess with the brakes, and they would aggressively heat up to +750 C. (less than ideal in case of an aborted TO!). Could this be related to what you are seeing as well (perhaps with the kick coming once the tug sets the nosewheel free again?).
Not sure if it eliminated the problem, but in GSX you can select configure aircraft, and set it to not actually lift the aircraft on pushbacks.A biiig patch reworking a lot of things is also just about to drop (I'm betting on release tomorrow), so perhaps the issue will go away with that.
