One of my neighbors who happens to be an IA lost his left brake on his 310 during rollout and went off the runway. The result was that he ripped the left wing off, just outboard of the left engine, when he used a tree for a parking brake.
The plane had just come out of annual and he said the brakes were fine and that he had put new linings in them.
My questions to this group are:
1. How can you inspect the caliper?
2. Should the calipers be rebuilt at a set interval?
(No one was hurt in his incident, only tree was harmed in the making of this story.)
