While discussing the matter in aviation group on one of the russian social networks similar to FB, I have seen that the information is persistent that mechanism that says to TU-204 systems that the AC is on the ground blocks among other things such as reverse engagement and interceptors, gear brakes too while AC is airborne (emergency brakes are the only option)...And that mechanism could end up being frozen. Similar thing happened recently to the same type. (But in that case they had big long field in front of them - plenty of space to stop. In this case there was a 2 meter high concrete fence and a highway.. - this time luck run out).


Could you explain to me how B/AB types handle this in term of how one can use brakes before struts will be compressed due to landing?

I am puzzled.
