How do you manage anti-skid and braking system operations during landing on the Longitude 700?

• A. Apply braking smoothly with anti-skid as equipped, monitor braking action, adjust deceleration to stop safely within the runway.
• B. Brake aggressively to stop as quickly as possible.
• C. Disable anti-skid to test wheel lock.
• D. Rely on thrust reversers only.

Answer: (A)

Using anti-skid properly during landing ensures controlled, maximum braking without wheel lock. The anti-skid system continuously monitors wheel speed and modulates brake pressure to prevent skidding, so you can apply braking smoothly rather than with abrupt pulses. With this in mind, apply brakes in a smooth, progressive manner and let the system do the work of maximizing deceleration while you monitor the braking action and any indications of abnormal performance. As deceleration progresses, adjust your brake pressure to ensure you can bring the airplane to a stop safely within the available runway length. If conditions on the runway reduce braking effectiveness, you can manage deceleration accordingly, and use thrust reversers as a supplemental aid if appropriate, but never disable the anti-skid.
