    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.
