7.17 Brake System
The main wheels have hydraulically operated single-disc type brakes. The brakes also function as parking brake.
Brake system consists of a brake lever, master cylinder, brake fluid reservoir, brake pressure limiter and calipers.
Braking pressure is initiated by pulling the brake lever backward which distributes to both calipers.
The brake lever protrudes from the pedestal panel and moves in the slotted link with two positions labelled
PARK and
MAX . To apply the brakes, pull the brake lever backward as required.
When parking the aircraft set the brake lever to position PARK . When the maximum brake action is required, set the
brake lever to position MAX .
A brake system malfunction or the onset of brake failure may be indicated by a gradual decrease of brake action, noisy
or dragging brakes, soft, spongy or excessive travel of the brake lever and weak braking action. When these symptoms
are observed, immediate maintenance is required. If the brakes are soft or spongy or brake lever travel increases,
pumping the brake lever may build braking pressure.
WARNING
Never operate the brake lever in-flight!
WARNING
Do not simultaneously increase power and apply brakes during
taxiing!
