diverdriver 7 #12 April 10, 2002 Ok, now, not knowing any specifics on the 767 I DO know that some aircraft have a way of transfering hydraulic fluid from one system to another. If that transfer valve stays open it is possible to be unable to build hydraulic pressure and thus no brakes. DOH!!!!!!! It happened at O'Hare with one of our BAE 146s. It WAS a mechanical problem.Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
