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

regulates brake pressure.
