Notice! The information contained in this document is for reference and information only.
The pilot is the final and only responsible party for the safe operation of this aircraft.

BRAKE SYSTEM

The aircraft has two single-rotor, hydraulically-actuated brakes located on the
main landing gear, one on each wheel. Each brake is connected to a brake
piston cylinder attached to the toe pedals of the rudder pedals. When the pilot or
Copilot presses the left brake pedal, hydraulic pressure is sent down a hydraulic
line to the left wheel brake pads, which in turn press on both sides of the rotor.
The same process also applies the right brake pedal to the right brake rotor.
The parking brake is located at the left of the pilot seat vertical support near the
floor. To set the parking brake ON the left brake is depressed and the valve is
turned 90 degrees in relation to the brake line. To release, simply turn the valve
to parallel the brake line.
CAUTION
The parking brake valve can be turned ON without pressure in the brake line.
This will prevent brake pressure from reaching the wheel area and result in an
apparent loss of the left brake. Do not turn the valve ON in flight.
