Brake system - see figure 7.5.5
The
airplane is equipped with a hydraulically actuated disc braking system installed
on the main landing gear wheels.
Each toe brake at pilot and front passenger stations is equipped with a master cylinder
which sends hydraulic pressure to the corresponding disc brake : left pedals, left-side
brake ; right pedals, right-side brake. Use differential braking to assist in 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 the rudder pedals' toe brake and set the control
knob to ON.
PARK BRAKE is 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 the rudder pedals' toe brake and set the control
knob to OFF. Check that PARK BRAKE disappears at the same time.
