737 FCTM says:
"Manual Braking
Immediately after main gear touchdown, smoothly apply constant brake pedal pressure for the desired braking. For short or slippery runways, use full brake pedal pressure."
that's fine, but on another page it says:
"Although immediate braking is desired, manual braking techniques normally invovle a four to five second delay between main gear touchdown and brake pedal application even when actual conditions reflects the need for a more rapid initiation of braking. This delayed braking can result in the loss of 800 to 1,000 feet of runway..."
Now I'm confused which one should I follow? should I wait 4/5 seconds after MLG touchdown for brake application? or should I immediately apply brakes after MLG touchdown (without the 4/5 seconds delay) and perhaps the antiskid itself will do the delay in order to prevent 'locked wheel during touch down'?
thanks in advance
