The rotor brake may only be engaged
when both engines are
shut down, and
rotor RPM has
decreased to 55%. Stops
have been demonstrated in winds up to
111 km / hr (60 knots).
ROTOR BRAKE OPERATION
The rotor brake is activated by its' own independent hydraulic system. The handle
and cylinder are located on the
control tunnel wall to the right of the pilot, while the
system fluid reservoir is located on the
cabin roof. When engaged, two RED caution
lights in the main caution panel illuminate, controlled by switches in each caliper which
sense displacement of the brake pads (pucks).
