16、Several incidents have occurred because the flight crew believed that the parking brake had been released when in fact it had remained engaged. FAR 25.735 requires that when the parking brake is not fully released this be clearly indicated to the flight crew. Care has been taken in the design of the

17、 parking brake mechanism on most aircraft to ensure that deliberate action is required to release the parking brake. Several incidents described in 5.1 and 5.2 may have been caused by improper release procedures, failed PB indication, inadequate means of indication, or flight crew oversight of a PB

18、indication. Still other incidents have occurred where the parking brake was not set during ground handling operation when it should have been. PB indication, flight crew distractions, and poor communication with ground maintenance personnel often contribute to these occurrences. Table 3 Date Locatio

20、 CHI01LA331 SAE INTERNATIONAL AIR6441 Page 15 of 19 5.4 Fluid Transfer between Systems In aircraft that use the pedal application type of PB as described in 4.1, the pressure for both normal and parking operations comes from the same hydraulic system. There still may be multiple hydraulic systems in

21、 the aircraft which feed the brake system where fluid transfer must be prevented or addressed. But those issues are separate from the PB system. On the other hand, the independent type of PB as described in 4.2 will often have the source of pressure for parking come from an alternate hydraulic syste

22、m. In those cases, the possibility exists where fluid will migrate from one system to the other as the PB is used. If this condition persists, one system will run low on fluid while the other will have excess fluid. One approach for addressing the fluid crosstalk is to link the reservoirs such that

23、excess fluid in one system will flow back to the low reservoir. That method is not appropriate for part 25 aircraft where separation of fluid systems is required. Table 4 Date Location Aircraft Description Source Dec 1999 Chicago O Hare (ORD) BAE 146 PB fail after pilot transferred fluid between hyd

24、 systems NTSB Number CHI00IA037 5.5 PB Used for Emergency Backup to Normal Braking Using the parking brake as an emergency backup to the normal braking system is sometimes considered in the parking brake system implementation. Note, the PB is not necessarily the first means of backup braking, since

25、many aircraft have alternate braking systems. Still, there are some aircraft that utilize the independent parking brake as described in 4.2 as a final emergency braking feature. With an independent means of applying the brakes, failures in the normal brake system will not affect the ability of the p

26、arking brake to apply brake pressure in an emergency. The parking brake control may have the ability to meter the brake pressure if it is used as an emergency backup such as on the Embraer ERJ-170/190. The parking brake is also used as an emergency backup brake system on the Airbus A320. When the pa

27、rking brake is used as an emergency braking system there is no antiskid protection so the wheels may lock and cause tire skid-throughs if the parking brake is set at speeds greater than 10 knots. These emergency braking systems require a modulating emergency/parking valve for control. Note, sizing r

28、equirements for the emergency braking system to comply with 25.735 and 25.671 may be more stringent than the requirements for the parking brake. 5.6 Thermal Compensation In hydraulic brake systems, an accumulator is used as an energy storage device allowing brake pressure to be applied when the hydr

29、aulic system itself is off or failed. In some smaller aircraft applications, the compliance provided by the accumulator is sufficient to address any thermal changes over long parking periods. In larger systems, thermal compensation during parking is usually provided by check valves incorporated into

30、 the parking brake valve. If the brake cools and contracts after the PB is applied, the brake pressure would otherwise decrease. But, with the check valves in place, the parking pressure will maintain brake pressure at the desired parking level. Likewise, if the PB is applied immediately following a

31、 stop the brake temperature and possibly the brake pressure will tend to increase. A pressure relief valve could be used to allow excess pressure to bleed off. 5.7 Leakage through Control Valves In many aircraft, the parking brake latching feature is upstream of the antiskid valve. An example is sho

32、wn in Figure 4. However, sophisticated control valves like antiskid valves or some brake metering valves are designed for fast response. The penalty for this fast response is excessive leakage to return when the valves are operating. This leakage is not a functional problem under normal braking oper

33、ation when the hydraulic system pump and/or accumulator can compensate for the leakage. But in a parking brake situation, this leakage would quickly deplete the parking pressure. To address the leakage, an isolation valve is put in the return line of the antiskid (or metering) valve. This valve serv

34、es to trap the parking pressure stopping the valve leakage to return. In some applications, this isolation valve is referred to as the parking brake valve. SAE INTERNATIONAL AIR6441 Page 16 of 19 5.8 PB Indication Methods Nearly all of the more serious PB incidents are caused by the cockpit crew not

35、 realizing the actual state of the PB. Examples of having PB pressure mistakenly applied during takeoff or landing are well known. But there are also many cases of the flight crew releasing normal brakes believing that PB pressure was present, only to have the aircraft move and strike another aircra

36、ft or other piece of equipment nearby. A reliable and very obvious means of indication is required to show when parking pressure is applied to the brakes as required by FAR 25.735. Several incidents described in this section may have been caused by failed PB indication, inadequate means of indicatio

37、n, or flight crew oversight of a PB indication. Adequate indication of the PB status to the flight crew is of crucial importance. 5.9 Pneumatic Pressure for PB Some aircraft such as the Cessna Citation use pneumatic pressure as an emergency means of applying the brakes. The pneumatic pressure can be

38、 modulated to bring the aircraft to a stop. No use of pneumatic pressure as a normal means to apply the parking brake is known at this time. 5.10 PB with Dual Cavity Brakes Several aircraft such as the McDonnell Douglas commercial aircraft and Airbus A330/A340 use dual cavity brakes in the brake sys

39、tem. Dual cavity brakes have two sets of pistons that are typically pressurized by separate hydraulic systems thereby ensuring separation of the hydraulic fluid. In the McDonnell Douglas aircraft, both cavities of the brake are active for both normal braking and parking. See Figure 5. Some dual cavi

40、ty brakes are designed such that one set of cavities can generate full stopping force, such as on the Airbus A330/A340. In this type of system only one set of brake hydraulic cavities is pressurized when the parking brake is set. Also, on the A330/340, one set of cavities is intended for normal brak

41、ing while the second set is for emergency braking and parking. This type of system is shown in Figure 8. Both these types of dual systems would prevent fluid transfer between hydraulic systems when parking (refer to 5.4). 5.11 Pedal Braking Availability with PB Set Several aircraft incidents have re

42、sulted when the flight crew could not stop the airplane from moving with the parking brake set because pedal braking was deactivated and there was no hydraulic pressure at the brakes. On these aircraft, if the hydraulic system used to supply pressure to the brakes with the parking brake set is not p

43、ressurized, pedal braking is not available unless the parking brake is released to switch over to the normal braking system. This type of parking brake system has been shown to be problematic. Hydraulic gauges have been placed in the cockpit to indicate to the flight crew the hydraulic pressure avai

44、lable in the parking brake system to preclude this type of incident but the issue is not completely alleviated.

46、9 5.12 Use of Chocks Some aircraft incidents have occurred from the improper use of chocks in combination with the parking brake. In some cases, these incidents are aggravated by inadequate communication between the flight crew and ground maintenance personnel. Table 6 Date Location Aircraft Descrip

48、t and chocks not placed AAIB Report Boeing 767, C-GEOU 5.13 Pressure Availability for PB In some cases, the failure of the parking brake function is due simply to the loss of hydraulic pressure in one or more of the applicable aircraft hydraulic systems. 5.14 Rotorcraft Some rotorcraft intentionally

49、 perform sloped and shipboard landings with the parking brake applied. If antiskid is installed on the aircraft, in order to bypass touchdown protection or other antiskid logic, the antiskid system would typically be disabled or bypassed for this event via a flight deck control or specific antiskid logic. Aircraft forward velocity is generally less than 5 knots during the landing. In some instances, prior to landing, the parki
