Brake Pins
Hello guys, I have a stupid question about the brakes indicator pins in Boeing aircraft.
I was skimming the maintainence manual of a B767 airplane and read that brake pins should be checked in normal brake pressure...which is pretty obvious that the brake pressure should be above the red band.
Then I stepped into another paragraph that says:
Two indicator pins on the inboard side of the brake
housing show brake lining wear. When the brakes
operate, the end of the indicator pin must extend
beyond the retaining bracket.
Does that means that we have to check the brakes on the ground always while we have the parking brakes on?
