Pull-Type Master Cylinder

Pull-type master cylinders are an alternative to push-type master cylinders and are common in the general aviation market. Pull-type master cylinders are used when the aircraft’s linkage is not set up for a push-type master cylinder due to cockpit design constraints or the air framer’s preference. The aircraft’s linkage is set up to pull the rod of the master cylinder. This action is achieved when the pilot puts a foot on the brake pedal to stop the aircraft.
