Autobrake #
The autobrake system has two main purposes, these are:
- reduce the braking distance in case of an aborted takeoff
- establish and maintain a selected deceleration rate during landing, thereby improving passenger comfort and reducing crew workload
When selecting an autobrake setting, the spoilers will automatically ARM in preparation for take-off or landing.
Take-Off #
Before departure, the autobrake should always be set to MAX (if fitted) so that the aircraft is configured correctly in the event of a rejected take-off (RTO).
To do this, access the Systems menu and select the following:
Misc | Action |
---|---|
Autobrakes | MAX |
{.checklist}
Landing #
For landing, the pilot can elect to do manual braking, or set an autobrake setting (i.e. LOW or MED). It is recommended that autobrake is always selected (if fitted), as this can always be disconnected during the landing roll if it is no longer required.
To do this, access the Systems menu and select the following:
Misc | Action |
---|---|
Autobrakes | LOW or MED |
{.checklist}
MAX is not available for landing and will automatically default to MED if selected when not on the ground
