BRAKE SYSTEM
The brake system is a non-boosted, mechanically actuated, and hydraulically
operated system, independent of the aircraft hydraulic system. The brake system is
not affected by a failure of the aircraft hydraulic system.
Two hydraulic master cylinders provide independent braking from the left and right
rudder pedals. The master cylinders are located on the bulkhead frame forward of
the aft instrument panel and are interconnected to both the forward and rear
cockpit rudder pedals. Toe activated pedals, mounted to the rudder pedal
assemblies in each cockpit, operate the corresponding master cylinder, applying
pressure to the disk brake unit on the desired main wheel.
The filler plug for the brake reservoir is visible outboard of the forward left ejection
seat rail with the canopy open. The filler plug incorporates three colour bands to
indicate fluid level in the reservoir and the need for servicing.
The red band at the top of the filler plug indicates the system requires servicing, the
green middle band indicates the system is adequately serviced, and the lower red
band indicates the system has been over serviced.
PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake (see Figure 1-2) is activated by applying toe brakes while
simultaneously pulling and turning the parking brake lever 90° clockwise. The
parking brake handle is located in the front cockpit, on the lower right portion of the
instrument panel. Turning the handle 90° counterclockwise releases the parking
brake.
