Frequently Asked Questions

Brakes should be inspected at every logbook service, or whenever there's a change in pedal feel, stopping distance or unusual noise. In tropical conditions — heat, hills and humidity — brake components can wear faster than expected, so an inspection is worthwhile any time something feels off.
