  • Chapter 13: Aircraft Landing Gear Systems › Anti-Skid › Anti-Skid System Tests

    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…
