The landing gear brake system uses compressed air. The system is fed from two 10 liter bottles and has a total pressure of 150 Kg/cm2.There is a caveat with the landing gear brakes. Every time you use them, you are consuming air. When you press the brake pedals, the brake pads valves are opened and air from the main system enters and activates them. But, when you release the brakes pedals, the valves close and the air in the brake cylinders is released to the atmosphere, so you lose the equivalent of 1.5 to 2.0 Kg/cm2 of pressure EVERY TIME you use the landing gear brakes. All pilots will have to manage the air supply because it can only be replenished by the ground crew.
The pneumatic system is also used for arming the cannons, winshield de-icin and activating/jettisoning the brake parachute.
Thanks! We're still awaiting getting our damage repaired over a month out from the storm. My PC is back up and running but with a lot of odd things going on (freeze ups and CTD's and hardware and drivers stop working) with it likely due to the moister exposure and slowly advancing corrosion. It may hold on a bit or it may suddenly go Blue Screen (from my past experiences with similar things, this is how it goes). Due to the masisve backup from booked damage repair contractors, it may be a good while before I get my damage repaired. When that does happen, I will be displaced for a bit. I am looking forward to the Mig-19. I always thought it was an interesting aircraft which will now finally be brought to life properly in a simulator.
