text: TYPICAL ERRORS OF BRAKING TECH- 
  NIQUE. Errors in braking technique are usu- 
  ally coincident with errors of other sorts. For 
  example, if the pilot 
  lands an airplane with 
  technique 
  excessive airspeed, poor braking 
  could accompany the original error to produce 
  an unsafe situation. One common error of 
  technique is the application of 
  of braking 
  in excess of 
  braking 
  the maximum 
  torque 
  possible rolling 
  torque. The result will be 
  that the wheel decelerates and locks and the 
  lowers 
  skid reduces the coefficient of friction, 
  the capability for side force, and enhances the 
  possibility of tire failure. 
  If maximum brak- 
  is necessary, caution must be used to 
  ing 
  modulate the braking torque to prevent lock- 
  ing the wheel and causing a skid. On the 
  other hand, maximum coefficient of friction is 
  obtained at the incipient skidding condition 
  so sufficient brake torque must be applied to 
  produce maximum friction force. 
  Intermittent 
  braking serves no useful purpose when the 
  is maximum deceleration because 
  objective 
  the periods between brake application produce 
  only slight or negligible cooling. 
  Brake 
  should be applied smoothly and braking 
  torque modulated at or near the peak value 
  to insure that skid does not develop.
