I'm happy enough to accept an aircraft with the Anti-Skid U/S, in the right circumstances, and, in my other life, dutifully prepare RTOWs for aircraft with Anti-Skid Inop.

One thing worries me, and always has, and that is how much braking is the correct amount? If, in a rejected Takeoff you apply too much braking, you'll blow the tyres / tires (note the trans Atlantic multiculturism). If, on the other hand you take it too easy on the brakes, you stand a very good chance of an overrun.

Between a rock and a hard place. How much is enough?

Regards,

Old Smokey
