Funny, Lemurian, how (despite your precautions
) we both tend to agree with each other sometimes.......
Agree especially that 'Cancel, cancel the...." could well have related to the Anti-Skid.
A bit like the old joke that if you gave a couple of monkeys a box of ballpoints, enough paper, and enough time, they'd eventually finish up writing the complete works of Shakespeare. Between us we seem to have made a fair start on 'Hamlet'........
My own view is that yes, maybe they DID have some braking - but that its effect may have been severely restricted by the 'Anti-Skid,' given that they were still travelling pretty fast on a damp runway. Alternatively, since as far as I know the 'decel' light depends on inertia, it could just have been the combined effect of the spoilers and reversers - the F/O seeing what he desperately WANTED to see.

That's what does begin to annoy me about your posts, though. I know that, like others on here, I'm only the lowest form of flying life nowadays - a mere fare-paying passenger - but I'd wish you'd see your mission as being to inform and educate us, not just to tell us that we don't know what we're talking about and should just - in a manner of speaking -
'Shut up and die.'
Perhaps you could get a bit constructive and tell us all what the A320 crew manual actually
says about 'Loss Of Braking?'
And also, as Rananim asks, whether it has been revised recently?
