What does the dual skid control valves do in the anti-skid system?

The dual skid control valves in the anti-skid system are responsible for providing modulated pressure to the brakes. This modulation is crucial as it helps in preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, especially in slippery conditions or during hard braking events. By adjusting the hydraulic pressure applied to the brake system in real-time, the valves ensure optimal braking performance while maintaining traction and stability.

This functionality is vital for enhancing safety and performance, as it enables a more controlled deceleration and reduces the risk of skidding. The ability to modulate brake pressure effectively allows for smoother stops and helps the pilot maintain control of the aircraft, even under adverse conditions.
