Brake Disconnect Tool
Hi all,
When looking at a failure in the Antiskid system on our aircraft (B767) we also looked at the possibility to deactivate a brake using either of two methods :
[list=1][*]Brake deactivation/disconnect tool[*]Capping of brake line[/list=1]
Now I've heard that this brake deactivation tool actually does allow use of that brake in case a very heavy brake demand is present. Can anybody please explain (in simple terms....) how this is achieved.
The T/O performance penalties are also very different for the two options (3000 kg vs 25000 kg), so I'm quite sure the tool somehow lets you use that brake in case of a Rejected T/O.
Thanks in advance for the reply!
Frank.
