C100driver,

By which piece of magic does the pilot who calls 'stop' for anti-skid inop suddenly cease to do so when sitting four feet to the left of his previous place?

Notwithstanding that a certain amount of human error will always be with us, proper training and testing are key.

The trained flight crew members are responsible for the safe operation of the aircraft. Your argument, I'm afraid, is about culpability and liability, not safe operation.

Yes, the military fly inexperienced crews and have SOPs to reflect that (but those are stil very good SOPs). They do not fly inadequately trained or insufficiently able crews. History tells us that the civil world does, and personal experience backs this up to the hilt.

This, of course, is why the sensible manufacturer will inhibit the anti-skid inop caution from 80 knots to 1,000 ft, and this, in turn, is why Boeing should never have been allowed to make the NG without updating then flight deck properly).
