How can you stop a pilot without brakes on a jet?

The correct approach to stopping a jet without functioning brakes is to signal to shut down the engine, specifically the first engine (EN1), and then throw chocks into place. This method is effective because shutting down the engine will significantly reduce thrust and allow the aircraft to coast to a stop without the forward momentum caused by the running engine.

Chocks are used to secure the aircraft once it has come to a stop, preventing any unintended movement. This is particularly critical in emergency situations, as the combination of engine shutdown and chocks provides a safe and reliable way to immobilize the aircraft on the runway or ramp.

In contrast, signaling to reverse engines could help slow the jet down, but it may not be a quick enough measure to prevent the aircraft from reaching an unsafe speed or distance. Using emergency brakes is not feasible in this scenario if the standard brakes have already failed. Pushing the jet into a barrier is not a safe or accepted practice and could lead to further damage and safety hazards.
