Safety history

  • September 14, 1986Accident

    THE BRAKE PADS ON THE AIRCRAFT WERE ALLOWED TO WEAR BEYOND THEIR LIMITS. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE RIGHT BRAKE CYLINDER MOVED OUT PAST ITS LIMIT AND RELEASED THE O-RING. THIS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID FROM THE RIGHT BRAKE. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED SIMULTANEOUSLY AS THE PILOT APPLIED BRAKE PRESSURE, WHILE ON LANDING ROLLOUT.
