BRAKES
1. DESCRIPTION
The brake system consists of single disc brake assembly on each main landing gear wheel, master cylin-
der for each rudder pedal, hydraulic fluid reservoir, parking brake, and associated hydraulic plumbing.
Serials 1593 & subs, 1005 thru 1592 after SB2X-32-14: A brake temperature indicator is installed on each
brake caliper piston housing. The indicator turns black if overheating occurs.
Serials 2016 & subs w/ Perspective Avionics: A brake temperature sensor is installed on each brake
assembly. Brake temperature annunciations are displayed on the MFD. A caution annunciation occurs
when brake temperature is between 270°F (132°C) and 293° F (145°C). A warning annunciation occurs
when brake temperature exceeds 293°F (145°C). 28 VDC is supplied through the ENG INST circuit
breaker on the Main Bus 2.
The hydraulically operated brakes are individually activated by floor mounted toe pedals located at both
pilot stations. The master cylinders are located forward of the pilot’s rudder pedals. The hydraulic fluid res-
ervoir is located in the engine compartment on the upper RH side of the firewall.
Serials 1005 thru 2240 before SB2X-32-21: The reservoir is serviced with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid.
Serials 1005 thru 2240 after SB2X-32-21, 2241 & subs: The reservoir is serviced with MIL-PRF-87257
hydraulic fluid.
For disassembly/assembly of brake master cylinder refer to the manufacturer’s approved Instructions For
Continued Airworthiness.
A parking brake mechanism holds induced hydraulic pressure on the disc brakes for parking. The parking
brake system consists of a parking brake valve, control cable with knob, and associated hydraulic plumb-
ing. The parking brake valve is mounted adjacent to the firewall on the LH side of the outboard console rib.
Serials 1005 thru 2015, 2016 & subs w/o Perspective Avionics: The parking brake control cable knob is
mounted to the LH side of the mid console, adjacent to the alternate air controls.
Serials 2016 & subs w/ Perspective Avionics: The parking brake control cable handle is mounted to the LH
kick plate. A position sensor, mounted adjacent to the parking brake valve actuation arm, sends position
data to the MFD via the GEA 71 engine airframe unit. An alert indicates in the CAS window of the MFD
when the parking brake is engaged.

This conditioning procedure will generate sufficient heat to create a thin layer of glazed material
at the lining friction surface. Normal brake usage should generate enough heat to maintain the
glaze throughout the life of the lining. Light brake usage can cause the glaze to wear off, result-
ing in reduced brake performance. In such cases, the lining may be conditioned again following
the instructions below.

Taxi airplane for 1500 feet with engine at 1700 RPM applying brake pedal force as
needed to develop a 5-10 MPH taxi speed.
(b) Allow brakes to cool for 10-15 minutes.
(c) Apply brakes and check to see if a high throttle static run up may be held with normal
pedal force. If so, conditioning is completed.
(d) If static run up cannot be held, repeat previous steps as needed to successfully complete
test.

(m) Verify brake efficiency and residual drag on the wheel.
(n) Remove jacks and lower airplane. (Refer to 07-10)
(o) Install main gear fairings. (Refer to 32-10)
(3) Adjustment/Test - Conditioning Procedure for Brake Pads
This conditioning procedure will wear off high spots and prepare brake pads and disc friction sur-
faces. A visual inspection of the brake disc will indicate the brake pads condition: a smooth sur-
face with light and regular grooves indicates that brake pads and disc are properly conditioned. If
rough surfaces on brake disc exist and/or reduced brake performance is noted, the brake pads
and disc may be conditioned again following the instructions below.
(a) Taxi airplane for 1500 feet (500 m) with light brake effort.
(b) Perform two (2) consecutive stop braking applications from 30 – 35 knots down to 5 knots.
Apply light brake effort during these two stops; do not try to apply full brake effort.
(c) Allow brakes to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
(d) Apply brakes and verify that high throttle static run up may be held with normal pedal
force. If brakes hold, conditioning is completed.
(e) If high throttle static run up cannot be held, repeat Adjustment/Test - Conditioning Proce-
dure for Brake Pads as necessary to successfully complete test.
CAUTION: Improper conditioning may affect braking performance and increase wear of
brake pads and disc.
Note: Rough surfaces (deep grooves and isolated bumps) on brake disc indicates
that an excessive brake effort has been applied during conditioning. If rough
surfaces exist, sand surface irregularities and repeat Adjustment/Test -
Conditioning Procedure for Brake Pads.
(4) Inspection/Check - Brake Pads
(a) Remove main gear fairing. (Refer to 32-10)
(b) Check brake pads for deterioration and maximum permissible wear. Replace brake pads
when friction material is worn to 0.040 inch (1 mm).
(c) Install main gear fairing. (Refer to 32-10)

Indicators are installed to the brake caliper piston housings. The bottom, blue indicator activates
at 330°F and is inspected during each Preflight Inspection. The top, yellow indicator activates at
300°F and is inspected Annually. If either temperature indicator is black the brake assembly has
overheated and O-ring(s) must be replaced.
(a) Remove main gear fairing. (Refer to 32-10)
(b) Wipe off any debris from brake caliper assembly that may obstruct inspection.
(c) Locate temperature indicators installed on brake caliper assembly.
