Guys remember this winter weather flying can be a challange .. Fly Safe Yall |

Why does the anti-skid give you an uneasy feeling? It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing it's there.
The TR's on the CRJ work pretty well, ill go full reverse on a snowy runway and save my brakes for under 80Kts....think about it....if they touched down at MLW i think Ref+5 is 144kts....it would be very easy to lose directional control at that speed when you get on the brakes...granted you bleed off energy as soon as you touch down...but its still very fast |

i think its better to get on the reverse first...then slowly apply brakes....i dont really trust the anti-skid....it gives you quite the uneasy feeling....its a huge relief that everyone was ok

ref+5 at MLW in the CL-65 is 146... ;)

I am just happy no one was hurt |

This is probably coming from somebody who's never used anti-skid. It works, but it's definitely weird. It doesn't grab like it should, especially on snow,

In the CRJ with a x-wind component, you are better off using brakes w/ idle reverse. Blend in more thrust as the a/c slows. Reversers first will amplify the weathervaning tendency of the a/c when used at higher speeds. I'd be surprised if your aircraft/ops manual didn't reference this somewhere.

Oh course not silly - if it "grabbed" as you put it, you'd skid. The cool think about antiskid is the "ANTI" part of skidding, which allows you to keep it under control no matter how hard you mash those brakes.
anti-skid is the same thing as anti-lock brakes in cars. it keeps the wheels from locking when you go ham-fisting the brakes. if the wheels spin, then you can control. once they lock up, you have no control over them. it does nothing to keep you from being pushed off the side of a runway due to winds and slick runway surfaces. and next time you're preflighting, look at the tread in the tires. notice the difference in tread pattern between them and car tires. A/C tires are designed to go straight, and provide grip going straight. they are not very good when cornering or with side loads, unlike car tires, which are designed for that. |
