AGGAGE OMPARTMENT
Should any of these symptoms occur, immediate maintenance is required.
If, during taxi or landing roll, braking action decreases, let up on the toe
brakes and then reapply the brakes with heavy pressure. If the brakes are
spongy or pedal travel increases, pumping the pedals may build braking
pressure.
Refer to Section 10,
System operational considerations.
Parking Brake
Do not set the PARK BRAKE in flight. If a landing is made with
the parking brake valve set, the brakes will maintain any pressure
The main wheel brakes are set for parking by using the PARK BRAKE
handle on the right side kick plate near the pilot's right knee. Brake lines
from the toe brakes to the main wheel brake calipers are plumbed through
a parking brake valve. For normal operation, the handle is pushed in. With
the handle pushed in, poppets in the valve are mechanically held open
allowing normal brake operation. When the handle is pulled out, the
parking brake valve holds applied brake pressure, locking the brakes. To
apply the parking brake, set the brakes with the rudder-pedal toe brakes,
and then pull the PARK BRAKE handle aft.

Baggage Compartment

The baggage compartment door, located on the left side of the fuselage aft
of the wing, allows entry to the baggage compartment. The baggage door is
hinged on the forward edge and latched on the rear edge. The door is locked
from the outside with a key lock. The baggage compartment key will also
open the cabin doors.
The baggage compartment extends from behind the rear passenger seat to
the aft cabin bulkhead. The rear seats can be folded forward to provide
additional baggage area for long or bulky items.

Baggage Tie-Downs/Cargo Net

If not adequately restrained, baggage compartment items may
pose a projectile hazard to cabin occupants in the event of rapid
deceleration. Secure all baggage items with tie-down straps or
Four baggage tie-down straps are provided to secure items in the baggage
compartment. Each strap assembly has a hook at each end and a cam-lock
buckle in the middle. The hook ends clip over loop fittings installed in the
baggage floor and in the rear bulkhead. The tiedown straps should be
stowed attached and tightened to the fittings.
