## Discrepancy

UPON LANDING PILOT'S (LEFT SIDE) BRAKES VERY SOFT AND SPONGY.  TRAVEL ALMOST TO THE STOPS BEFORE FIRM PRESSURE IS FELT.  PUMPED UP TO NEAR NORMAL PRESSURE BUT SYSTEM WILL NOT SUSTAIN NORMAL BREAKING PRESSURE.  COPILOT'S BRAKES NORMAL.

CONFERRED WITH TECH SERVICES, RETURN TO SERVICE IS OK.  BLED BRAKES IAW 560 M/M 32-42-00, OPS CHECKS NORM.  NO DEFECTS NOTED.
