Mike, Interesting that you bring that up....seems I've heard something similar during informal chit chat in one of my initial aircraft training classes. Whether it was aircraft specific or random conversation, I don't recall. Unless someone posts an answer before tomorrow, I'll try to talk to my AA(TWA) buddy about the hydraulic/brake system of the aircraft. Some of these systems have weird routings that can effect other systems in ways you may not believe. Walter DCA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael A.
