That is the parking brake
. Best airplane parking brake I've used, previously they've either been very stiff, had to smash the regular brakes to set it, lost pressure after shutting down, or all of the above. This one is light, don't need apply brakes first, and doesn't lose pressure, just like a parking brake should be. Sometimes I wonder why it's so hard for airplane manufacturers to do what cars have had for years.
Somebody is missing my point. When you set eyesight to 1 second and let it get that close, you're relying on it to save you. If it fails, you won't be able to stop before you hit. If you're not actually letting it get that close, then no problem, but that's not what it sounded like.
