The airbrakes are operated as follows:
• Pull the handle backwards to open the airbrakes. Figure 7.6-2
illustrates the cockpit label for the open airbrake position.
• Push the airbrake lever forward to close the airbrakes. Figure

The airbrakes can be locked in four different positions during flight. This
is achieved by rotating the lever downwards into the detents.
