Anti-skid brakes on light aircraft

Do small Q-class aircraft usually have anti-skid braking systems?

There is no such thing as "Q-class aircraft".

The term "Q-class" refers to the type of airline ticket as in economy,
first class, bussiness class, etc. and has nothing to do with the
airplane and Q-class is usually economy discounted.

Just another example of Anthony's presumptions. Of course, any real pilot
would know that activation of the anti skid is located on the left sub panel
in a Baron, next to the relief tube port. However, this is not viewable on
MSFS, so it is understandable why Anthony would not know the location.

I would consider the Baron to be better than Q class, since I have to
replace around 10 switch/CBs this year for around $200 each. However, on
long cross country flights I do try to recline the seat all the way, which
is much more comfortable for sleeping. With the new Lightspeed Zulu headsets
I am easily roused in case ATC calls.

Anthony, I hope this answers your question.

anti skid.. is the sand I make sure are on the roughed up leather soles so I
don't slip on the ice.
anti skid.. is that blank sandpaper like material on the wing walk

I can see him sticking a straw into the electrical outlet to the left, and
peeing into it. Mmmm!

I'm not defending Mx, but it's snotty replies like this that make real
pilots more hesitant to join the conversation. I've never flown a Baron
and never intend to, and if I had a question (OK, not one that stupid)
about landing gear I wouldn't want an answer unique to a Beechcraft
anyway.

Yep. A case in point of a poster coming in and making a statement that is
far off base, because of a lack of familiarity of the situation.

I personally think that it is remarkable that a hit has not been ordered on
Mx.

Anybody who has read through some past archives and/or lurked for a while
on the group (IMO a requirement before posting anywhere!) is bound to
recognize why this sort of response is being made and why it won't happen
to him.

Viper's response is a pretty funny in-joke (hint: there's a reason his
reply is specific to the Baron) and expecting any group, especially one
this small, not to have in-jokes is kind of silly.

Real pilots, and I classify "real" as:

- intelligent,
- understand the imminent dangers in posting to a known, classified
troll as MX is dangerous
- clogging up a resource and falsifying info *costs lives*

so "real" pilots wouldn't do it.

Maybe real idiots who fly, yes. Pilots, not a chance.

Our "real" pilots may be seemingly personable souls but we
must take care not to let this obscure the fact that they are know
Mx has long ago been out of his depth in this any exchange.

In short.

**** them.
