## Discrepancy

PISTON IN LH BRAKE CALIPER LOCKED IN PLACE CAUSING THE BRAKE TO DRAG, PILOT ABORTED TAKE OFF TO CHECK BRAKES. WE BELIEVE THIS WAS CAUSED BY WORN BRAKE PADS. NO EMERGENCY MEASURES TAKEN. NO SBS, ADS, ICAS OR STCS APPLY. BRAKE PADS WERE WITHIN TOLERANCE, BUT WE BELIEVE REPLACING THEM SOONER SHOULD PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING.
