Default Anti-skid brakes on light aircraft

Michael Ash wrote:

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.


ROTFL! Now THAT'S useful!
