Overview

How does it work? The mechanism is a hydraulically controlled lever arm actuated by the existing brake system on the aircraft. Depressing the brake pedal causes actuation of a small hydraulic slave cylinder on each ski that puts upward force on the forward end of the arm. The aft end of the arm has a pick with two carbide tips that are forced down into the ice or snow below the ski. The mechanism is mounted to the top of the ski near the pedestal on either the inboard or outboard side. The ski drags require approximately 2- to 3-square-inch holes cut into each ski for the drag tips to extend through.
