Thank you for your responses.
I am not in any way discounting pilot error in this particular case. However, as I said, the entire wheel assembly (wheels, axel etc) was changed the night before as a result of a set of cooked brakes getting that hot that they bent the axel! (Yes, believe it or not, that is correct.It is another story which I will not go into).
The engineers are saying BAe should have told them about a requirement to check certain things??????????????? after a assembly change like the one they performed.
I have never had any problems personally with the anti-skid on the 146. However I still do not understand how the system could test correctly (which is a first officer check on the first flight of the day)if the test was performed correctly, and the system was in actual fact not connected in the correct sense. Surely an anti-skid fault would be indicated in this situation!
Looking forward to more educated responses.
