Brake System
See
The airplane is equipped with a hydraulically actuated disc braking system
installed on the main landing gear wheels.
Each toe brake at pilot and front passenger positions is equipped with a master
cylinder which sends hydraulic pressure to the corresponding disc brake: left
pedals, left-side brake; right pedals, right-side brake. Use differential braking to
assist in maneuvering during taxiing.
A master cylinder actuated by a servomotor sends hydraulic pressure to the disc
brakes when landing with the HomeSafe emergency function engaged.
HS ABN BRAKES
is displayed in the CAS window when the servomotor is
operating.
Parking Brake
See
The parking brake control consists of a control knob located on pilot's side lower
instrument panel and a valve that regulates the brake pressure.
To apply the parking brake, press on the rudder pedals' toe brake and set the
control knob to ON.
PARK BRAKE
is ON when the control knob is set to ON.
NOTE
Operating the parking brake knob without applying pressure on the rudder
pedals’ toe brake will not provide wheel braking.
CAUTION
Failure to apply brake pressure while releasing the parking brake can damage
the parking brake valve. This damage can cause the parking brake valve to not
release the pressure.
To release the parking brake, press on the rudder pedals' toe brake and set the
control knob to OFF. Check that
PARK BRAKE
disappears at the same time.
