## Discrepancy

DURING TAXI,  NORMAL BRAKING FOR BOTH LT AND RT PEDALS ON THE PILOT AND COPILOTS REQUIRES FULL PRESSURE ON BOTH PEDALS TO STOP THE ACFT.  EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE ALSO WEAK.  MECHANIC BLED BOTH LOW PRESSURE AND HIGH PRESSURE HYD SYSTEMS IAW JIC 32-42-00, BLD 10010.  THE SYSTEM CHECKED GOOD AND THE ACFT WAS RETURN TO SERVICE.
