- Definição1
- An electrohydraulic control in an airplane´s power brake system that prevents the wheels skidding on wet or icy runways. A wheel-speed sensor monitors the decelaration rate of every main landing gear wheel. If any wheel decelerates too rapidly, indicating and impending skid, pressure to that brake is released and the wheel stops decelerating. Pressure is then reapplied at a slightly lower value.

- Contexto
- Aircraft that are equipped with anti-skid systems normally are also equipped with a system that allows the aircraft wheel to accelerate to the aircraft speed completely after touchdown before allowing the anti-skid system to apply maximum braking effort. This also prevents the pilot from inadvertently applying brake pressure before landing which may result in blown tires.
