What is the acceptable position of the brake wear indication for A320? What is the acceptable position of the brake wear indication (PIN) for an A320 to be safely dispatchable?
There are two wear pins. If the end of either pin touches the machined part of the piston housing the heat pack is worn out and the brake must be replaced. Measurement must be done when the brakes are cold. If one wear pin is missing, check to make sure the other pin is there and looks ok. If both pins are missing the brakes need to be replaced.
