Hydraulic brake system
The REMOS GX is equipped with the MATCO hydraulic brake
system. The brake system operates by a single lever on the center
console. This layout allows to control braking performance very
precisely while access is granted from both seats.
On the illustration you can see the brake master cylinder and it’s
components. A stop valve attached to the output of the cylinder
enables a parking brake function. No aircraft brake fluid may be used
in the system, otherwise the seals will be damaged. The system is
certified for DOT 4 use only.
When checking brake fluid, please take care that all of the illustrated
parts are present und undamaged.
