mytai01 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I pull the handle, but it doesn't seem to do anything. What is it supposed to do, and is anyone else having any problems with it?

The emergency brake system is activated by first pulling the EMER BRAKE handle fully aft and then depressing the rudder/brake pedals. The right hydraulic system supplies the emergency brake system which has the same capabilities as the normal brake system except anti-skid protection. The emergency brake system is fully independent of the normal brake system except for the dual power brake valve, shuttle valve, and brake assembly. Should left hydraulic system pressure become available while emergency braking is selected the emergency brake system still retains control of the brakes. Emergency braking power is provided by the emergency brake accumulator should the right hydraulic system fail. Actuation of the EMER BRAKE handle ports right hydraulic system pressure to the emergency brake system. Right hydraulic system pressure provides unlimited emergency braking.

Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

mytai01 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 A-10C has no parking brake - something that pilots complain quite a lot about... If it has no parking brake, then what does the emergency brake do?

Hansolo Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 As mvsgas qouted from the manual it lets you use toe brakes in case there is a failure to normal hydraulic system (right); Emergency braking power is provided by the emergency brake accumulator should the right hydraulic system fail. Here is a shot that shows how the hydraulic system looks like Cheers Hans 2 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 [...] is anyone else having any problems with it? Works exactly as advertised for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 If it has no parking brake, then what does the emergency brake do? It sources the hydraulic pressure from the other system than normal (right side instead of normal left). If you start the right engine first then you must switch the brakes to use the other hydraulic channel so you can apply brakes in the time when only the right engine is running. Any time the left hydraulic system isn't pressurized and you need brake function then you must switch the brakes to the alternate source. In right hyd mode you lose anti-skid and I think NWS maybe?

mytai01 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Now it makes sense. Thank you all for the explanation.
