Maintenance disclosures
LEFT SIDE BRAKE FAILURE, PILOT REPORTS UPON LANDING BACK IN MKE WHILE TURNING OFF THE RUNWAY HAD NO BRAKE PRESSURE ON THE LEFT SIDE. RIGHT SIDE BRAKE WORKED FINE BUT LEFT SIDE HAD ZERO PRESSURE. LH BRAKE HAD NO SINE OF A LEEK WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON THE GROUND BUT AFTER MX JACKING THE AIRCRAFT UP TO TROUBLESHOOT LANDING GEAR RETRACT DISCREPANCY THE LH BRAKE BEGAN LEAKING FROM THE FLEXIBLE LINES GOING DOWN THE GEAR INTO THE CALIPERS. REPLACED BRAKE LINE AND BLED BRAKE SYSTEM IAW B99 AMM 32-40-00.
FOUND THE LH AND RH DRAG BRACE SUPPORT FITTINGS P/N 50-120201 S/N NSN WERE CRACKED. REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH NEW LH AND RH DRAG BRACE SUPPORT FITTINGS P/N 50-120201-1 S/N NSN. WORK PERFORMED IAW SIRM 32-00-17. OPS CHECKS GOOD.
DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, THERE WAS NO AIRSPEED INDICATION ON THE PFD. AT APPROXIMATELY 40-50KTS ANALOG BACKUP AIRSPEED INDICATOR WAS INDICATING CORRECTLY, EFIS X OUT ON ATTITUDE AND HEADING. AIRSPEED DISPLAYED '---' FOR THE TAKEOFF ROLL UP TO THE REJECTED TAKEOFF. WHEN THE 'X' CAME UP, CHECK PITOT HEAT ANNUNCIATION WAS DISPLAYED ON THE PFD. ONCE TURNING OFF OF THE RUNWAY, THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND THE ATTITUDE AND HEADING CAME BACK. THE CROSSCHECK ATTITUDE ANNUNCIATION WAS DISPLAYED ON THE TOP OF THE PFD. THE PFD THEN REALIGNED AND ALL INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. A SECOND TAKEOFF WAS ATTEMPTED AND THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED. ACFT WAS INSPECTED AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PITOT LINE HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE UNIT. WITHOUT A VALID AIRSPEED INPUT AND WHEN THE GPS GROUND SPEED IS ABOVE 50 KNOTS THE ATTITUDE AND DIRECTION INDICATOR FAIL. TO CHANGE THE SOFTWARE SO IN THE EVENT OF A PITOT FAILURE THE ATTITUDE AND DIRECTION DO NOT COMPLETELY FAIL, THE FACT THAT THE ATTITUDE AND DIRECTION FAILING IN THE EVENT OF ONLY A PITOT FAILURE CAN RESULT IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHICH DID NOT EXIST BUT WAS CREATED BY THE PFD SOFTWARE ITSELF. ADDITIONALLY WE RECOMMEND REMOVING THE QUICK DISCONNECT PITOT AND STATIC LINES AND INSTALL CONVENTIONAL B-NUT CONNECTORS, AS THIS WOULD OF PREVENTED THE PITOT LINE FROM BEING DISCONNECTED.
LT ENGINE PRODUCED A SERIES OF SOUNDS INDICATIVE OF COMPRESSOR STALL WHEN LEVELED AT FL190. TORQUE RAPIDLY DIMINISHED AND TEMPERATURE ROSE. PILOT SHUTDOWN ENGINE AS A PRECAUTION. ENGINE REMOVED AND SENT FOR ANALYSIS. (K)
