Cheap brakes pads




Cheep imitations and costly in a long run !


After new brakes pads was bought for $900.00 garanteed to have been manufactured in the United States ( but printed at the back of the pads is written made in MEXICO), after 40-60 landing on 6000ft runway or longer and aerodynamic braking used on each landing, the brakes pads worn out need to be replaced because the cooper spacers are touching the discs.

The owner of Fouga, was kind of depressed and not happy to have to replaced the brakes pads sold by a fouga specialist after 60 conservative landings. It cost him $1,300.00 / 60 = +- $21.00 per landing.........
