I can't remember if I was taught it or just started to do it because of a brake bleed down I once had on a Cessna 140A. But on a approach if I remember and in a cross wind condition I always pump the brakes to make sure they are going to be there when I need them. I also tap on them after a successf...

Re: air compressor
