F16 Brakes at 4 35

I might be way out of my element in responding as my only experience is in various airliners and other jets but one very big no-no for any pilot is to land with anti-skid off unless directed to do so by a QRH. I dont know anything about light single engine jet aircraft but I cant imagine the logic doesnt transfer almost exactly.
the CRJ I flew and A321 that I am current on make it quite clear that with Anti Skid off, we could expect to overrun the runway, thus limiting our landings to nothing but extremely long runways and even then, expect to lose a tire or two. Anti-skid is indeed that important.anyway, with that grenade that i tossed, i will walk away and make some popcorn.
cheers!

A change (I think) I notice while braking is that the toe brakes disengage when I apply rudder. I dont have fancy pedals, just a stick with twist axis.
It seems plausibly realistic that you couldn’t apply toe-brakes while also applying rudder…?
But I wonder if folks have a small or zero deadzone on their rudder axis, if thats maybe interfering with braking?

@M79:
I cant’t find no reason to swithch ABS off either. If you brake right ABS just dont activate.
Hi, M79, well, for what it’s worth, I can tell you with fair certainty that it’s not used on Carriers.

Antiskid system should just be bit better than normal on carrier landings.

@M79:
Sorry this is in finnish but braking powers ABS versus non abs on page 30:
https://www.theseus.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/41000/OpinnaytetyoABS.pdf;jsessionid=F212F4DD87CD6F617BF111895ED66CD7?sequence=1Where on page 30 exactly? Page 30 of the pdf (labelled page 25 in the document page) discusses the importance of early braking effectiveness in minimising braking distance, but does not compare ABS with non-ABS. Page 30 of the document (labelled page 35 in the pdf) discusses how more modern ABS units have better braking performance compared to older ABS units, but does not compare ABS with non-ABS, either.

https://theaviationist.com/2014/07/16/c-130-land-on-carrier/Why would you be using your brakes during a carrier landing? You either catch the wire and stop or bolter and keep going, not much in between, at no point should you be on the brakes.
The C130 you linked to is a very unusual situation.
ABS/Anti-Skid is off when on the boat, most of the systems don’t work at the slow taxi speeds anyway.

Hi
Here is what I found from my A320 training manual about Anti-skid.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry for kinda bad answer to your question, i mean this page 30 on file:
Rest of document just clarifies that even with newER systems there is gap between perfect braking and braking with abs. -

Well, anyone can add it to the bug tracker. I haven’t bothered, on the basis that it seems like its fixed at this point. Still, I guess it would be good to have, so that its a “known issue”. I’m also away from my desk, and will be for a while.
Please feel free to post it to the tracker!
