Not being Hawk-experienced, I didn't realise that the Hawk had Maxarets. As installed in the Gnat and Hunter, with a unit on each mainwheel, the system's weakness was that if just one mainwheel hit a puddle and locked up, the braking action on that wheel would cease but would keep working on the other. If the pilot was not totally alert the aircraft would then set off sideways onto the grass. Is this the case with the Hawk?
