Q

The parking brake system electric actuators are clamped in position during parking brake application. As brakes cool,
- the aircraft is required to remain powered to maintain clamping force.
- the parking brake system has a “park and adjust” feature which monitors the condition of the brakes after application and adjusts the clamping force as needed.
- the brakes will remain set for 12 hours after application.
- the parking brake needs to be reset after the initial application.

A

the parking brake system has a “park and adjust” feature which monitors the condition of the brakes after application and adjusts the clamping force as needed.

- For values of 3.0 to 4.9, the brake symbol for the hottest brake on each main gear truck becomes solid white.
- Normal range values of 0 to 4.9 are white.
- BRAKE TEMP advisory EICAS message displays when any brake registers 5.0 or higher on the gear synoptic display.
- When invalid brake temperature data or faults are detected, the synoptic displays the average temperature of the remaining brakes.

A

When invalid brake temperature data or faults are detected, the synoptic displays the average temperature of the remaining brakes.
