Thumbs up

With reference to Shakespeares comments relating to Anti-skid problems on a Bae-146 in Florence,The Anti-skid transducer is not affected during a normal straight forward wheel change as the transducer is located internally within the axle.

Is it at all possible that this pilot inadvertantly landed with the brakes selected to emergency yellow thus inhibiting the Anti-skid system and thus causing such a blow out?Normal SOP states for landing on Green Hydraulics but this situation points to an error of this nature as any failure of the Anti-skid system would give an Anti-skid "fault" or "inop" annunciator when the ground test was carried out on the pre-flight.

I hope this answer helps you to restore some faith in the machine that you are flying! The Anti-Skid system on the 146 is on the whole very reliable with very few defects throughout my career so far.

Having thought about this situation whilst writing, A dual adaptive Anti-Skid valve failure could result in such a failure or indeed if the computer sending the valve the signal did not do so!

I'll do some research for you.
