When encountering a braking loss situation, what is the subsequent action after turning off anti-skid?

In a braking loss situation, the appropriate subsequent action after turning off the anti-skid system is to re-apply wheel brakes as necessary. This step is crucial for regaining control of the aircraft during landing or stopping, especially when the anti-skid may have inhibited the brakes from functioning properly. By re-applying the wheel brakes, the pilot can adjust the braking force to what is safe and effective, attempting to slow down the aircraft as needed while considering the surface conditions and aircraft speed.

Turning off the anti-skid allows the brakes to operate without the interference that could occur if the system mistakenly interprets a loss of traction. Once this is done, careful re-application of the brakes can help manage the stopping distance effectively, which is vital in ensuring a safe landing or halt. This action is part of a systematic approach to restoring control in an emergency scenario related to braking.

The other choices do not address the immediate need to control the aircraft's speed effectively. Releasing the wheel brakes momentarily is typically counterproductive in a scenario where braking control is already compromised. Communicating with passengers, while important, does not assist with the immediate handling of the aircraft in a critical situation. Applying maximum reverse thrust may also not be appropriate without confirming the aircraft
