1. Aircraft Brake Systems

5. Compensating Port

6. Brake Problem Trouble Shooting
Spongy Brakes = Air in line or bad hose/line Pressure backs off = Leaking Master Cylinder (if no exterior fluid is found) Parking Brake Backs Off = Same Dragging Brakes = Compensator Port Plugged or Caliper Stuck (not free to move)

7. Light Aircraft Caliper Systems

10. Expander Tube Brake System

11. Expander Tube Systems Use Fluid Pressure to expand the tube.
Air Pressure is not positive enough pressure to move lining blocks!

12. Multiple Disc Brake Systems
Thin steel disc systems
Thick carbon disc systems

16. Parking Brakes Several types put on small aircraft Cable type
Plate type
Check Valve type
Do not leave or set parking brake when brakes are hot!
