FLIGHT CONTROLS

TM 1-1520-238-10 2-9 transmitted through tubing to the transfer valves, and the parking brake valve, to the wheel brake assemblies. It ac- tuates pistons in each wheel brake assembly causing fric- tion linings to move against a floating brake disk to stop wheel rotation. When the helicopter is parked, the pilot or CPG applies and maintains pressure on the brakes until the PARK BRAKE handle (fig 2-7) can be pulled out by the pilot to set the parking brakes. Hydraulic pressure is maintained in the system by the compensator valves mounted on the parking brake valve. Additional parking brake force may be achieved by holding the PARK BRAKE handle out and staging or pumping the brake pedals once or twice to maximize the holding force. Re- leasing the brake pedals before the PARK BRAKE handle will again lock the system and maintain the higher brake force. Either crewmember can release the parking brake by exerting pressure on the control pedal. 2.10 FLIGHT CONTROLS. The flight control system consists of hydromechanical controls for the main and tail rotors and an electrical stabi- lator. A digital automatic stabilization system (DASE) is used to augment the controls, and provide a backup con- trol system (BUCS). Refer to the appropriate system for complete descriptive information. 2.11 PILOT AND CPG INDICATORS, INSTRUMENT PANELS, CONSOLES, AND ANNUNCIATORS. Figures 2-7 thru 2-12 provide an overview of instrumenta- tion in both crew stations. Instruments will be discussed with their associated systems. Flight instruments are de- scribed in Section XIV of this chapter. Caution, warning, and advisory lights, as well as audio warning signals, are also discussed in Section XIV. 2.11.1 Indicators. Indicators for management of the helicopter systems are located on both pilot and CPG in- strument and control panels. Refer to the applicable sys- tem for descriptive information. 2.11.2 Pilot Instrument Panel and Consoles. The pi- lot instrument panel is shown in figure 2-9 and the control consoles are shown in figure 2-11. 2.11.3 CPG Instrument Panel and Consoles. The CPG instrument panel is shown in figure 2-10 and the control consoles are shown in figure 2-12.
