The present application discloses a method of braking a rotor and a brake unit for braking a rotor disc. The brake unit comprises said rotor disc (100) rotatable about a central axis of rotation; a first brake pad mounting means (24') having a first end (24a') and a second end (24b') and a longitudinal outer, side, surface (24c') extending there between, wherein a first brake pad (22') is provided at said first end (24a') of said first brake pad mounting means (24') and positioned facing a first face of said rotor disc (100). The first brake pad mounting means (24a') comprises a first locking feature (28') provided on its outer, side, surface (24c'). The brake unit (10) further comprises first locking means (14') configured to pivot about an axis, the locking means (14', 14") being configured to be movable about said pivot axis so that a locking feature (14a) of said locking means (14') can come into contact with, or be moved away from said outer, side, surface (24c") of said first brake pad mounting means (24'). In a first position, said first locking means (14') is configured to be in contact with and engaged with said first locking feature (28'), to thereby prevent movement of said brake pad (22") towards said face of said rotor disc (100). In a second position, said first locking means (14') is configured to be disengaged from said locking feature (28') to thereby permit movement of said braking pad (22') towards said face of said rotor disc (100).
