Ground Test Ground tests vary slightly from aircraft to aircraft. Consult the manufacturer’s maintenance manual for test procedures specific to the aircraft in question. Much of the anti-skid system testing originates from testing circuits in the anti-skid ... control unit. Built-in test circuits continuously monitor the anti-skid system and provide warning if a failure occurs. An operational test can be performed before flight. The anti-skid control switch and/ or test switch is used in conjunction…

pair is rotating at a certain speed, so should the other. If it is not, a skid is beginning or has occurred. On takeoff, the anti-skid system receives input through a switch located on the gear selector that shuts ... anti-skid system. This allows the brakes to be applied as retraction occurs so that no wheel rotation exists while the gear is stowed. Auto Brakes Aircraft equipped with auto brakes typically bypass the brake control valves or brake metering…
- Chapter 13: Aircraft Landing Gear Systems › Anti-Skid › System Operation
Anti-Skid Large aircraft with power brakes require anti-skid systems. It is not possible to immediately ascertain in the flight deck when a wheel stops rotating and begins to skid, especially in aircraft with multiple-wheel main landing gear ... assemblies. A skid not corrected can quickly lead to a tire blowout, possible damage to the aircraft, and control of the aircraft may be lost. System Operation The anti-skid system not only detects wheel skid, it also detects when…
