Question 1

[MEM] LOSS OF BRAKING

Answer 1

REV MAX

BRAKE PEDALS RELEASE

Brake pedals should be released when the A/SKID & N/W STRG sw is switched OFF, since the pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode than in normal mode.

A/SKID OFF ORDER

L2 The PF orders the PM to set the A/SKID & N/W STRG sw to OFF.

L1 A/SKID & N/W STRG OFF

Braking system reverts to alternate mode.

BRAKE PEDALS PRESS

Apply brake with care, since initial pedal force or displacement produces more braking action in alternate mode than in normal mode.

MAX BRK PR 1000 PSI

Monitor brake pressure or BRAKES PRESS indicator. Limit brake pressure to approximately 1 000 PSI and, at low ground speed, adjust brake pressure as required.

If STILL NO BRAKING:

PARKING BRAKE SHORT AND SUCCESSIVE APPLICATIONS

Use short successive parking brake applications to stop the aircraft. Brake onset asymmetry may be felt at each parking brake application. If possible, delay the use of the parking brake until low speed, to reduce the risk of tire burst and lateral control difficulties.
