A conventional, differential, foot controlled braking system may also be
fitted as an option. In such cases each brake caliper is separately actuated
by way of a master hydraulic brake servo fitted to the rudder pedal on the
side of the airplane corresponding to the wheel on which the applicable
caliper is located. The parking brake arrangement works in the same
manner as with the hand actuated system.

Baggage compartment
The baggage compartment comprises two sections positioned behind the

compartment comprises a narrow, slightly lowered front section and a
higher, larger back section. Subject to the 15kg (77 lb) limitation, luggage
may be loaded into the front or back section. Regardless of the manner in
which baggage is loaded, it is the obligation of the pilot to ensure that the
aircraft CG is within the permissible limits. All baggage must be properly
secured.
NOTE
Prior to each flight, ensure that the seat belts are
firmly secured to the airframe, and that the belts
are not damaged. Adjust the buckle so that it
assumes a central position relative to the body.
