BRAKES SYSTEM (MOD.2002/146“Stick mounted brake hand control”)
In order to allow the control of the brakes system with hands always on stick and
central grip, an additional pump has been installed on the standard left stick; this
pump is connected to the airplane brake system and is operated by a hand operated
lever (see Figure A-4).
Pilot pushes lever to operate brakes. The hydraulic connection between the standard
pump and the additional lever is in series so that pulling one of the two handles
activate the brakes. The brake oil reservoir is connected with the highest-stick
mounted pump.
