# Autobrake

### AUTOBRAKE SELECTOR KNOB (ROTARY ACTION) <a href="#toc118376651" id="toc118376651"></a>

* RTO: Selects Rejected Takeoff deceleration rate. This mode is equivalent to maximum manual braking.
* OFF: Autobrake is deactivated.
* LO: Selects the low deceleration rate.
* MED: Selects the medium deceleration rate.
* HI: Selects the high deceleration rate.

### AUTOBRAKE OPERATION <a href="#toc118376652" id="toc118376652"></a>

* Modulates hydraulic pressure to the brakes in order to provide a constant deceleration rate corresponding to the level selected.
* If reverse thrust is actuated, the autobrake system will modulate the brake pressure to maintain the deceleration rate constant to the mode selected.
* <mark style="color:red;">Anti skid, touchdown and locked wheel protections are provided during autobrake operation.</mark>
* Autobrakes will be disengaged when brake pedal pressure is applied, or the thrust lever is above idle.
* Rejected Takeoff autobrakes will engage when:
  * Thrust levers IDLE or REV.
  * Wheelspeed above 60kts.
  * Brake pedals not pressed.
* Ways to disarm the autobrakes:
  * Selector switch set to OFF.
  * Pedal braking is applied.
  * <mark style="color:red;">Brake control system failure is detected.</mark>
  * Either thrust lever is advanced beyond IDLE during autobrake application.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flightsim-studio.com/e-jet-series/systems-guide/main-panel/autobrake.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
