## Discrepancy

WHEN MAKING A TIGHT TURN USING RUDDER AND BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDALS GO TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT BRAKING. THIS OCCURS BOTH IN RT AND LT TURNS AND IS FELT FROM BOTH PILOT & CO-PILOT PEDALS.  BRAKING FEELS NORMAL WHEN MAKING SHALLOW TURNS OFF AND ON THE RUNWAY, BUT THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THE ACFT NEEDS TO MAKE A 90 DEGREE TURN AND THE PEDAL IS FLOORED.  FOUND RUDDER PEDALS COULD BE MOVED TO AREA OF FORWARD DETENT WHICH SHOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE ON THIS ACFT. FOUND SB 560XL-27-28 HAD NOT BEEN C/W.  BRAKE PEDALS WILL CONTACT BULLHEAD IN THIS CONDITION IF IN HARD TURN.  PEDALS WILL NOT CONTACT BULKHEAD.  BRAKE SYS OPS CHECK GOOD IAW MM 32-44-10.
