![]() These days you can buy an exchange widget in overhaul condition with a core value nearly equal to a brand-new widget. As the cost to overhaul a unit has increased, the core charge values have skyrocketed. The rotable pool has aged, and some of the components needed for overhaul are so scarce they must be replaced with new. But as we have seen over and over, in recent years, most cores (everything from brakes to fuel probes) generate a core charge billback. Your core unit is then returned for evaluation and credit (hopefully) against the core value. The usual practice is to purchase an exchange brake unit. Relining or overhauling these items is very labor-intensive. The discs fit together the wheel, with special cut-outs to accommodate the disc assembly, slides around the discs. The multi-disc brake assembly is considered an internal disc setup. The multi-disc brakes by BFG have excellent stopping capability, but they’re very expensive to maintain. The only exceptions were the F90s and the 100s (straight A and B models) with standard gear, which came with a single-disc brake assembly by BFGoodrich (BFG). All King Airs come out of the factory with BFGoodrich brakes, and most come with a multi-disc brake assembly. ![]()
