| Summary of Issue | Clarification of whether or not an audible air leak at the brake chamber stands alone in the 20% rule or must there be an air loss as in (1)(h) for the audible air leak at the brake |
| Justification or Need | When the leak is not of sufficient magnitude to create a direct OOS per item 1.h. "Air Loss Rate," should the chamber with the audible leak be considered an item, under 1.a.(4), for inclusion with the 20% defective brake criteria? |
| Request for Action | Clarification. |
