AEROPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL
7.5. Landing gear system
The aircraft has a three-wheel, fixed landing gear, with nose wheel.
The main landing gear is of a flat spring design. The nose wheel is
fitted with a rubber shock absorber
7.5.1. Braking system
The aeroplane is fitted with hydraulic disc brakes. The system
consists of two hydraulic circuits that activate independent callipers of
left and right wheels of the main landing gear. Each of the circuits
consists of two brake cylinders [3] located on rudder pedals. In
version 1 they are connected via insulating valve [4] and flexible
pressure lines with brake callipers [8]. The brake fluid container [1] is
located at the highest point of the brake system on the firewall and it
supplies each pump independently. Cylinders of the left brake are
activated by the left rudder pedals and the right cylinders are
activated by the right rudder pedals of both the pilot and the
passenger. The insulating valve are located on the firewall in the
cabin and prevent the transfer of brake fluid under high pressure from
one cylinder to the other instead of the callipers. In version 2 pumps
on right rudder pedals activate additional callipers.
In both variations it is possible to install a parking brake valve.
