ATA 32-40 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
WHEELS (ATA 32-41-00)
The wheels are made of two half wheels machined from
aluminum alloy forgings and have a radial tubeless tire installed.
It is possible to use conventional (bias ply) tires as an option.
NORMAL BRAKING (ATA 32-42-00)
The Normal braking system is electrohydraulic and includes a
computer, which is the Braking / Steering Control Unit (BSCU).
The BSCU controls the operation of the electrohydraulic valves in
the system to decrease the speed of the aircraft. The hydraulic
pressure that operates the brake pistons is supplied from the
Green Main Hydraulic Power system (AMM D/O 29-11-00-00).
The system has two modes of operation, manual and automatic,
and gives automatic anti-skid protection in each mode. Each
brake unit gets separate pressure control to supply the anti-skid
protection. The WHEEL page shows when the anti-skid function
operates. A switch (A/SKID) in the cockpit lets you cancel the
system. If the switch is set to OFF, brake operation will go to the
Alternate Braking Without Anti-Skid system (AMM D/ O 32-44-00-
00).
During manual braking, the input signals to the computer come
from the two pairs of brake pedals (through the related transmitter
unit) in the flight deck.

Power Plant & Airframe / Avionics
Base and Line Maintenance (Level 3)
ATA 32 Landing Gear System
Thus, the quantity of hydraulic pressure that goes to the brake
units is in proportion to the travel of each related brake pedal.
Each pedal independently controls braking to the related MLG.
Three pushbutton switches in the cockpit set the auto braking to
be used during a landing. There are three deceleration modes
(LO, MED or MAX).MAX mode is selected before Take-off.
If a brake pedal supplies an input signal which is more than the
set auto value it cancels the automatic braking program.
If specified failures occur in the system, control automatically
changes to the Alternate Braking system (ATA 32-43-00) or (ATA
32-44-00).
ALTERNATE BRAKING WITH ANTI SKID (ATA 32-43-00)
(A320 CLASSICS ONLY)
The Alternate braking with anti-skid associates the Yellow high
pressure with the anti-skid regulation. You get this mode
automatically:
if Green pressure is not available or falls during braking,
or if certain failures occur on the Normal system (AMM
D/O
32-42-00-00).

A hydraulic selector causes changes between the Green and
Yellow systems automatically.
You control only with the pedals. An auxiliary low-pressure
hydraulic-system transmits the orders. The pressure
supplied to the left and right brakes is shown on a brake
Yellow-pressure triple-indicator installed on the center
instrument panel.
The anti-skid system and related indicating are operative.
This braking mode uses the second set of pistons of the brake
unit.
ALTERNATE BRAKING WITH ANTI SKID (ATA 32-43-00)
(A320 ENHANCE / CEO’s / NEO’s)
The Alternate braking system with anti-skid is the secondary,
electrohydraulic braking system. It automatically becomes
available if:
failures occur in the Normal braking system
specified
(AMM D/O 32-42-00-00)
the pressure of the Green main hydraulic power supply
(AMM D/O 29-11-00-00) is less than a specified value.
An analog computer ABCU (Alternate Braking Control Unit)
controls the operation of the alternate braking system.

Braking inputs can only be made at the brake pedals and the
BSCU provides the anti-skid control (AMM D/O 32-42-00-00). The
hydraulic pressure that goes to the second set of pistons in the
brakes (AMM D/O 32-42-00-00) is supplied from the Yellow Main
Hydraulic Power supply (AMM D/O 29-13-00-00). The quantity
of hydraulic pressure that goes to the brake units is in
proportion to the travel of each related brake pedal. Each
pair of brake units (on the same gear) get separate pressure
control to supply the anti-skid function.
ALTERNATE BRAKING WITHOUT ANTI SKID (ATA 32-44-00)
(A320 ENHANCE / CEO’s / NEO’s)
The Alternate braking without anti-skid system is the secondary
mode of operation of the Alternate braking with anti-skid system
(AMM D/O 32-43-00-00). The system is automatically available
when the anti-skid function is not available. This occurs when:
the A/SKID switch is set to OFF
the Yellow Main Hydraulic Power supply is not available.
the Anti skid function of the BSCU is faulty.
The system uses the same hydromechanical components as the
Alternate braking with anti-skid system. If the Yellow Hydraulic
Power supply is lost, the accumulator (filled from the Yellow
HP) gives sufficient power for at least seven full brake
applications.

A triple pressure indicator in the cockpit shows the braking BRAKE SYSTEM TEMPERATURE MONITORING SYSTEM
accumulator pressure and the pressure at the brakes. (ATA 32-47-00)

PARKING/ULTIMATE EMERGENCY BRAKING (ATA 32-45-00)
The parking brake system is an electrohydraulic system. It uses
the components of the alternate braking system to send pressure
to the brakes. Its primary function is to prevent movement of the
aircraft when it is parked. It can also be used to stop the aircraft
during towing or in an emergency.
The parking brake system gets its hydraulic power supply from
the accumulator of the Alternate braking system (AMM D/O 32-
44-00-00) or the Yellow Main Hydraulic Power system (ATA AMM
D/O 29-13-00-00). The accumulators have sufficient capacity to
hold the brakes on for a minimum time of twelve hours.
The brake pressure supplied to each MLG and the hydraulic
pressure available to the system are shown on the triple pressure
indicator (AMM D/O 32-44-00-00).
The system continuously measures the temperature of each
brake. It has a sensor on each brake and a Brake Temperature
Monitoring Unit (BTMU) for each pair of brakes.
The brake temperatures are shown on the WHEEL page. When a
brake becomes too hot:
the EWD gives a warning message and
instructions
(during specified flight phases)
the MASTER CAUT lights come on
an aural warning is given.
TIRE PRESSURE INDICATING SYSTEM (TPIS) (ATA 32-49-00)
(AS INSTALLED)
The TPIS automatically monitors the landing-gear tire pressures
and continuously shows the values on the WHEEL page.

BRAKES AND STEERING BUILT-IN TEST EQUIPMENT (ATA
32-46-00)
The BSCU includes hardware and software which:
continuously monitors the systems for failures
does automatic system tests at specified times
permits specified system tests during ground maintenance.
The system includes an electronic pressure sensor in each wheel
and a Tire Pressure Indicating Computer (TPIC). The TPIC
controls the operation of the system and sends data to other
systems in the aircraft. It supplies data and warnings if the
pressures are unsatisfactory.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
OPERATION / CONTROL 10GG
Normal Braking (AMM D/O 32-42-00-00)
In the manual braking mode, operation of the brake pedals
causes a signal to be sent to the BSCU. The BSCU energizes the
brake selector valve and the servovalves which supply the correct
pressure to the brake units (ATA 32-42-00). The BSCU
automatically releases the pressure (servovalve control) in the
necessary brakes during anti-skid control.
In the automatic braking mode the BSCU uses the braking
program that is set to control the rate of the aircrafts deceleration.
The BSCU starts the braking program when the necessary
specified conditions are available. It calculates the correct brake
pressure required and controls the servovalves to get the correct
deceleration rate.
The BSCU also controls the anti-skid function. To do this it
compares the actual wheel speeds with the aircraft speed. The
BSCU then releases the brake of the wheel that starts to be in a
skid condition.
The BSCU also puts the brakes on for a short time during
retraction of the landing gear.

Alternate Braking With Anti Skid (AMM D/O 32-43-00-00)
(**ON A/C ENHANCE, CEO’s, NEO’s)
When the brake pedals are operated a signal is sent to the
ABCU. The ABCU controls the system pressure that goes to the
brakes. In the anti-skid function, the BSCU sends anti-skid
currents to the ABCU which substracts them to the pressure
control currents sent to the Alternate Servovalve (Direct Drive
Valve) to release the pressure to prevent wheel locking.
Alternate Braking Without Anti-Skid (AMM D/O 32-44-00-00)
(**ON A/C ENHANCE, CEO’s, NEO’s)
When the brake pedals are operated a signal is sent to the
ABCU. The ABCU controls the Direct Drive Valves in the system
to set the necessary pressure at each pair of brake units.
