Do small Q-class aircraft usually have anti-skid braking systems?

There is no such thing as "Q-class aircraft".

The term "Q-class" refers to the type of airline ticket as in economy,
first class, bussiness class, etc. and has nothing to do with the
airplane and Q-class is usually economy discounted.

Just another example of Anthony's presumptions. Of course, any real pilot
would know that activation of the anti skid is located on the left sub panel
in a Baron, next to the relief tube port. However, this is not viewable on
MSFS, so it is understandable why Anthony would not know the location.

I would consider the Baron to be better than Q class, since I have to
replace around 10 switch/CBs this year for around $200 each. However, on
long cross country flights I do try to recline the seat all the way, which
is much more comfortable for sleeping. With the new Lightspeed Zulu headsets
I am easily roused in case ATC calls.

Anthony, I hope this answers your question.

Sure there is, you just need a Q-clearance to
fly one.

Q-class vessels don't carry aircraft, but if they did skidding on
landing would be the last of their worries.

I'll have to file this post by Anthony- it is one of his most naive ones
yet, and will be sure to mention it when he gets into one of his knowledge
discussions.

It will rank up there with his question on whether Beech Barons had ejection
seats.

My aircraft has an anti-skid braking system. It works as follows: when the
brake is applied too vigorously, the aircraft tilts over onto its nose. If
done on pavement, this results in damage which costs a couple thousand
dollars to repair. By keeping this figure in mind, I can avoid locking up
the brake.

It can only be that there is something in the flightsim world that
equates aircraft with a particular selfloading cargo class

mine also has an anti skid mechanism..
I apply the brakes, when I hear the tires complain (load screech) I reduce
toe pedal pressure..
I can modulate the toe pressures required and applied between the left and
right side depending on aircraft (tire) noise, aircraft direction, and
judgment.

I can see him sticking a straw into the electrical outlet to the left, and
peeing into it. Mmmm!

Thanks. I haven't been able to find any information on it in manufacturer's
specs or in other sources that I've looked at.

I'm not defending Mx, but it's snotty replies like this that make real
pilots more hesitant to join the conversation. I've never flown a Baron
and never intend to, and if I had a question (OK, not one that stupid)
about landing gear I wouldn't want an answer unique to a Beechcraft
anyway.

Yep. A case in point of a poster coming in and making a statement that is
far off base, because of a lack of familiarity of the situation.

I personally think that it is remarkable that a hit has not been ordered on
Mx.

Anybody who has read through some past archives and/or lurked for a while
on the group (IMO a requirement before posting anywhere!) is bound to
recognize why this sort of response is being made and why it won't happen
to him.

Viper's response is a pretty funny in-joke (hint: there's a reason his
reply is specific to the Baron) and expecting any group, especially one
this small, not to have in-jokes is kind of silly.

Real pilots, and I classify "real" as:

- intelligent,
- understand the imminent dangers in posting to a known, classified
troll as MX is dangerous
- clogging up a resource and falsifying info *costs lives*

so "real" pilots wouldn't do it.

Maybe real idiots who fly, yes. Pilots, not a chance.

Our "real" pilots may be seemingly personable souls but we
must take care not to let this obscure the fact that they are know
Mx has long ago been out of his depth in this any exchange.

In short.

**** them.

In your reincarnation from drug and gun smuggling as dehydrated turd
rolling down a steep cliff into a dedicated, multi-bladed tree
shredder. you have usurped bad to horrible.

There's a difference between bad and 'so earth shatteringly *horrible*
it makes the angels scream in terror as they violently rip their heads
off, their blood spraying into the faces of a thousand sweet innocent
horrified children, who will forever have the terrible images burned
into their tiny little minds'."

You˘re the latter.

One might say about any attack on you:

"Yeah, but isn't it kind of like teasing the retarded kid until he gets
so angry he ****s himself? Sure, in a perverse way, it's funny to watch
him stand there and scream and deny, all red-faced with **** dripping
from the cuffs of his shorts and down his pasty white legs. But, still,
you feel bad for them in a way, too. It's worse than shooting fish in a
barrel, it's just too easy."

Yes, I am charged guilty.

But I can reconcile myself in the fact that I did not knowingly kill
innocents, force children into parentless homes, also addicted to the
scumcaine you proudly brought to our society.

There is a God and I can only hope that I have earned a ringside seat
watching you slowly toast, at 125 degrees, in Hell for eternity.
