Which statement about the anti-skid system is NOT accurate?

• A. It includes individual wheel anti-skid control
• B. It provides touch down protection
• C. It provides locked wheel protection
• D. It cools hydraulic fluid

Answer: (D)

The anti-skid system focuses on brake control to prevent tire skidding during braking. It monitors each wheel’s speed and adjusts brake pressure to keep wheels from locking up, which helps maintain control and steering. Individual wheel anti-skid control means the system can modulate pressure on each wheel separately, so one wheel won’t drag the others into a skid. Touchdown protection is a feature that limits brake application during the initial contact with the ground, helping to prevent a skid as the tires settle onto the runway. Locked wheel protection guards against a wheel locking up if something goes wrong, reducing pressure to that wheel to avoid a skid or loss of steering. Cooling hydraulic fluid, however, is not part of the anti-skid function. Hydraulics are cooled by a separate hydraulic cooling system, not by the anti-skid system.
