Anti-skid systems are designed to minimise aquaplanning and the potential tyre damage which can occur when a wheel is locked or rotating at a speed which does not correspond to the speed of the aircraft. It increases the effectiveness of braking by providing the greatest brake pressure while not allowing the wheels to lock (because of excessive brake pressure applied).
- Failure of the anti-skid system can lead up to a 50% increase in stopping distance required, which affects both the landing distance (increases) and the accelerate-stop distance in case of engine failure before V1 during take-off.
