Issued: February 2004 TN 348/16
The undercarriage is locked in the extended position by an overcentre
locking arrangement and an additional safety catch. The handle is to be
turned towards the cockpit wall, so that the locking catch will engage.
11) Airbrake handle - blue
The wheel brake is operated at the end of the airbrake handle travel.
Optional parking brake combined with an airbrake securing device
(Piggott-hook):
Pull the airbrake handle back to actuate the wheelbrake and
rotate the handle to the cockpit wall. A detent will engage in one of 4 notches
to hold the system in this position.
In case the airbrakes mistakenly haven’t been locked, a detent engages in one
of several notches to avoid inadvertent deployment of the airbrakes. To open
and to close the airbrakes the operating handle must be rotated into the
cockpit so far that the detent passes the notches.
