Anti-skid brakes on light aircraft
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.

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