Tim-Rob--

Yes-Yes-

But an overlooked cause MIGHT be;

IF you're using a pressure hyd fluid container that is left charged (under pressure)-- it will oxygen-ate(?) the fluid.

After take off bubbles will form in lines-- causing a spongy pedal. Cure-- Only pressurize pressure pot during bleed process and store with cap/pump loose.

The brakes would feel ok once we bled the system but....once we take-off and retract the gear, the brakes go down to the floor!!! <SNIP>

More than likely the brake caliper is being depressed in flight by contacting something…say the gear door.

Do a retract test on the ground with the outboard door off to make sure the brake caliper is not contacting anything.
