Brake system - see figure 7.5.5
Air
plane is equipped with a hydraulically actuated disc braking system installed on the
main landing gear wheels.
Each toe brake at L.H. and R.H. stations is equipped with a master cylinder which
sends hydraulic pressure to the corresponding disc brake : L.H. pedals L.H. brake ;
R.H. pedals R.H. brake. This differential braking helps maneuvering during taxiing.
Parking brake - see figures 7.5.5 and 7.5.6
Parking brake control consists of a control knob located on pilot's side lower
instrument panel and a valve which regulates brake pressure.
To apply the parking brake, press on toe brake of rudder pedals and set the control
knob to ON.
PARK BRAKE lights on when the control knob is set to ON.
● NOTE ●
Operating the parking brake knob without applying pressure on rudder pedals
does not cause the wheels to be braked.
●
▲ CAUTION ▲
Failure to apply brake pressure while releasing the parking brake can
damage the parking brake valve. This damage can cause the parking
brake valve to not release the pressure.
▲
To release the parking brake, press on toe brake of rudder pedals and set the control
knob to OFF. Check at the same time that PARK BRAKE disappears.
