Anti-skid brakes on light aircraft

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.

anti skid.. is the sand I make sure are on the roughed up leather soles so I
don't slip on the ice.
anti skid.. is that blank sandpaper like material on the wing walk

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.
