Another advantage of aircraft drum brakes is their ability to maintain a consistent performance in varying environmental conditions. They are less susceptible to the effects of debris and water compared to disc brakes, which can lead to reduced performance due to slippage. This robustness makes drum brakes preferable for certain types of aircraft, particularly older models and smaller general aviation planes.
Once you’ve inspected the brake components, it’s time to try to free the drums. One common method is to gently tap the drum with a rubber mallet. This action can help to break the bond between the drum and the shoes. Be careful not to use excessive force, as you could damage the drum. If hitting the drum doesn’t yield results, consider applying brake cleaner to the assembly to help dissolve any corrosion.
