I just installed new break pads and am wondering if there is a procedure to
brake them in?
I just put 'em on and use 'em. Never had any problems yet.
They're broke in by the time I get to the end of the taxiway.
Ditto. One side was not as quite effective as the other at first and
the plane had a bit of a tendency to veer to the right with equal
pressure on the pedals, but after a bit more taxiing around and
alternately heating and cooling each side, they evened up nicely. Then
after about 4 or 5 total landings to a full stop, both new brakes
worked perfectly balanced.
