BRAKE SYSTEM
The braking system consists of the normal brake system,
emergency/parking brake system, and gear-retracting-in-flight braking.
The normal brake system is supplied by hydraulic systems 1 and 2. It
is electronically commanded and monitored. The emergency/parking
brake system is supplied only by hydraulic system 2 and is
mechanically actuated. Normal braking is controlled by the pedals.
Emergency braking is controlled by the emergency/parking brake
handle. Gear-retracting-in-flight braking is controlled by both hydraulic
systems and by a mechanical stop within the nose gear wheel well.
This braking is electronically commanded and monitored.
Braking through the pedals incorporates some protections not
available when using the emergency brake handle. Brake temperature
is shown on the MFD Hydraulic Page.
