A/SKID & N/W STRGON
NOTE: about A/SKID and Brakes

A/SKID prevents the wheels from blocking when braking, like the ABS in a car.

If failure on yellow AND green HYD systems, ACCU will be needed for braking (it will provide 7 manual brake applications, no autobrake)

For the use of ACCU braking, A/SKID must be deactivated.

- Send flightplan, check ATIS
- Request ATC IFR CLEARANCE
- SET SQK CODE (press CLR twice, then type)

Perform these steps BEFORE programming the MCDU to avoid having to change the SID, active RWY...
