Questions and Answers

What should the pilot flying do before the pilot monitoring sets the A/SKID switch to OFF?

  • Press the brake pedals continuously
  • Activate the parking brake
  • Release the brake pedals (correct)
  • Increase reverse thrust immediately

What is the maximum brake pressure that should be monitored when using alternate braking?

  • 500 PSI
  • 750 PSI
  • 1500 PSI
  • 1000 PSI (correct)

If there is no braking after activating alternate braking, what action should be taken next?

  • Use full reverse thrust until stopped
  • Increase brake pressure to maximum immediately
  • Set A/SKID back to ON
  • Apply the parking brake in short successive applications (correct)

Loss of Braking, Initial Action

If braking fails, the crew may use maximum reverse thrust to stop the aircraft completely.

Alternative Brake Mode

Switching A/SKID & N/W STRG to OFF activates a secondary braking system.

Alternate Braking Precautions

Release brake pedals before the PM disables A/SKID to prevent harsh brake application.

Emergency Braking Procedure

If the primary and alternate braking systems fail, use successive parking brake applications for stopping.

Brake Pressure Limit (A/SKID)

When using the alternate braking system, the brake pressure is limited at 1000 PSI, monitored by the BRAKES PRESS indicator

Study Notes

If no braking:

  • If needed, flight crew maintains maximum reverse thrust until aircraft stops.

Brake Pedals:

  • When the flight crew activates anti-skid braking, the alternate braking mode is engaged.
  • The pilot flying (PF) releases the brake pedals before the pilot monitoring (PM) disengages the anti-skid system (A/SKID).
  • This action avoids harsh braking.
  • For the alternate braking mode, refer to the Alternate Braking section.

A/SKID OFF:

  • The pilot flying (PF) commands the pilot monitoring (PM) to turn off the A/SKID and N/W STRG systems.

A/SKID & N/W STRG:

  • A/SKID and N/W STRG are switched off.

Brake Pedals:

  • Brake pedals are pressed.

Max Brake Pressure:

  • Limit brake pressure to approximately 1000 PSI.
  • Monitor brake pressure on the BRAKES PRESS indicator.

If still no braking:

  • Apply the parking brake in short, successive applications to stop the aircraft.
  • For more details on parking brakes, refer to the Parking Brake section.
