What is a probable cause for brake pedals having excessive travel in an aircraft?

Brake rotors have worn
Hydraulic fluid is low
Gear is not down and locked
Brake pedals are not properly connected

The correct answer is: Brake rotors have worn

Worn brake rotors are the likely cause for brake pedals having excessive travel in an aircraft because as brake pads wear down, the distance between the brake pads and rotors increases, resulting in a longer distance for the pedal to travel before the brakes engage. Option B is incorrect because low hydraulic fluid would affect the responsiveness of the brakes, not the travel distance. Option C is incorrect because if the gear is not down and locked, the brakes would not engage at all. Option D is also incorrect because if the pedals were not properly connected, they would not be able to move at all.
