What function does the anti-skid provide?

• A. Individual wheel anti-skid control
• B. Touch down protection
• C. Locked wheel protection
• D. Hydraulic pressure relief

Answer: (A)

Anti-skid works by sensing each wheel’s speed and adjusting the braking pressure on that wheel independently. This per-wheel control prevents a wheel from locking up and slipping, which keeps handling predictable and braking effective, especially on slippery surfaces. That’s why the better description is individual wheel anti-skid control: it modulates each wheel’s brake pressure as needed to maintain grip. The other ideas aren’t the main function: touch-down protection isn’t about braking force per wheel, the notion of protecting against lock in a general sense is less precise than per-wheel modulation, and hydraulic pressure relief is about releasing pressure in the system rather than controlling braking on a wheel-by-wheel basis.
