Answer 17

Monitor the brake pressure using the BRAKES and ACCU PRESS indicator

Question 18

What type of brakes are available with only a green hydraulic failure

Answer 18

Alternate brakes with anti skid

Question 19

Except on 49XX 320s, when alternate braking is available without antiskid due to a BSCU failure, pedal pressure must be controlled to prevent wheel lockup, and
