The anti-skid question is a popular one for discussion...

How do you guys brief? At AWAC, it was typically "we'll abort under 80kts for any malfunction, 80kts-V1 for engine fire/failure/red warning/loss of directional control" (or something to that end).

If you get a single chime CAUTION at 75kts for Anti-Skid Inop, are you going to immediately initiate an abort...or are you going to look down and see what the EICAS message is? Okay, at this point you're now at 85kts...what do you do now?

I certainly understand the logic of continuing with an anti-skid failure...but I'm a bigger proponent of "fly as you brief".
