Q

Describe the brake system on the Archer.

A

The brakes are hydraulic, with a disc and caliper on each of the main wheels. The brakes are operated by either the toe brakes on the rudder pedals, or by the parking brake lever below the instrument panel. The parking and toe brakes share a common fluid reservoir, but have separate cylinders.
