## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED THE BRAKES NEEDED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO APPLY BRAKING ACTION.  PEDALS WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR.  THE SAME PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TWO DAYS PRIOR (REF SDR DJFA2008002) AND THE AIRCRAFT FLEW 5 FLIGHTS WITHOUT DISCREPANCIES.  MAINTENANCE BLED THE BRAKE CONTROL VALVE AND FOUND NO AIR IN THE SYSTEM.  BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKED GOOD.
