During braking loss, which control should the PM set to OFF?

• A. AN TI-SKID
• B. Wheel Brakes
• C. Reverse Thrust
• D. Flaps

Answer: (A)

Anti-skid braking modulates brake pressure to prevent wheel lock by reading wheel speed. When braking is lost, the wheel speeds can become erratic, and the anti-skid system can misinterpret the data, leading to inappropriate brake modulation that reduces or delays deceleration. Turning the anti-skid control off removes that automatic modulation, letting you apply braking directly with the pedals and rely on tire grip for stopping. The other options don’t address the issue: keeping wheel brakes on is necessary for braking; turning them off eliminates braking altogether. Reverse thrust and flap settings affect deceleration in different ways but don’t fix the loss of braking control and are not the immediate corrective action in this scenario.
