BRAKE SYSTEM
(Figure 7.5.5)
Airplane is equipped with a hydraulically actuated disc braking system
installed on the main landing gear wheels.
Each toe brake at L.H. and R.H. stations is equipped with a master cylinder
which sends hydraulic pressure to the corresponding disc brake : L.H. pedals
L.H. brake ; R.H. pedals R.H. brake. This differential braking helps
maneuvering during taxiing.
PARKING BRAKE
(Figures 7.5.5 and 7.5.6)
Parking brake control consists of a control knob located on pilot’s side lower
instrument panel, a valve which regulates brake pressure.
To apply parking brake, press on toe brake of rudder pedals and position
control knob on ”ON”
”PARK BRAKE” CAS message lights on when control knob is positioned on
ON.
NOTE :
Operating the parking brake knob without applying pressure on rudder
pedals does not cause the wheels to be braked.
To release the parking brake, turn the selector to the left in order to set the
index upwards to ”OFF” position and check at the same time that the ”PARK
BRAKE” CAS message disappears.
