SR22 Airplane Description
Parking Brake
• Caution •
Do not pull the PARK BRAKE knob in flight. If a landing is
made with the parking brake valve set, the brakes will maintain
any pressure applied after touchdown.
The main wheel brakes are set for parking by using the PARK BRAKE
knob on the left side of the console near the pilot’s right ankle. Brake
lines from the toe brakes to the main wheel brake calipers are
plumbed through a parking brake valve. For normal operation, the
knob is pushed in. With the knob pushed in, poppets in the valve are
mechanically held open allowing normal brake operation. When the
handle is pulled out, the parking brake valve holds applied brake
pressure, locking the brakes. To apply the parking brake, set the
brakes with the rudder-pedal toe brakes, and then pull the PARK
BRAKE knob aft.
