Dear "procrastinator" regardless of procedure (s), you may have 100's; it doesn't matter ->the end result must be properly functioning brakes. When the system is not bled properly and air is present you will not have optimal pressure applied to the calipers hence a degraded braking action commensurate with the amount of air trapped in the line as air is compressible. So after the pilot complained about the right brake, a pretty good hint that something was wrong, the mechanic replaced the O-rings and released the aircraft back into operation without the proper wait period !! obviously someone dropped the ball ; A proper braking test should have been performed. All the Procedures are effective, a well trained mechanic should be able to cope with the braking system, they are many BN2's in operation out there and their mechanics seems to be able to bleed the lines properly... We are all airmen an have an interest in learning from this sad event. Hopefully the final report will tell the whole story regardless of who knows who or any sensitivities.
