Thanks Terry for that Technical Training note, and as you said, 175 bars is about 2500 psi.
Also, from your document, I've been very interested in these other notes:
"The PRK BRK SEL VLV is operated by two (electrical) motors ..."
"It also sends an electrical signal to the BSCU and EBCU in order to inhibit other braking modes. This signal is
disabled within the BSCU if blue system pressure, monitored by the pressure transducer,
falls below 1450 psi."
I won't comment on these now ... but keep them on the side.

Obviously, there is something
very "strange" with these
13 seconds !?
How that senior insider from Toulouse manage to squeeze 13 sec for that airplane to travel
at the very most its own length knowing than 2 sec before impact the boat had already reached its cruising speed of 15 meters per second ?
Then how that senior insider from Toulouse explains the boat did not follow the crew order to turn away from the wall ? (BTW he even does
not mention that ...)
And how that senior insider from Toulouse explains the absence of braking marks if "it got away on the brakes" ?
That late
inconvenient picture publication is very tough on BEA credibility ... just one more time !
Thanks to
forget for letting me know how to do the trick with the image.
