\\\THIS is the kind of training they should provide us in the sim.\\\

Oddly enough, it has been included in a good many L10 checks that I have had, over the years.

I have only had the 'pleasure' of having actually used anti-skid to its maximum effectiveness one dark and stormy night at the old Taipei airport, landing easterly.
The 'ole foot thumpers (yes, they actually did) in older 707's worked to perfection...otherwise it would have been into the weeds for sure.

To dispatch with anti-skid inoperative, one must use all available caution...how do you know for example, that your destination might not be closed, and the alternate wet and short, even if the forecast says otherwise?

Murphys law applies.
