thanks very much for the reply. now its clear to me. :)

thanks ben we did come to a full stop on that aborted take-off. is it possible that if you are taxiing under 15kts and brake hard that only one tire will have a flat spot? since anti skid is no longer operative under 15kts then should't all main landing gears should show signs of shredding/flat spot after breaking hard for a couple of seconds or more or is it possible for some transducers to be less sensitive than the other transducers for the anti skid to be inoperative at 15kts or below? sorry for asking too much hehe. still new in flying c-130s. :)

Good day to all. I frequent this website but I think this is the first time that I'm posting here to ask a technical question. I just like to be enlightened regarding what happend to us just last week. aircraft was a c-130H model. We were on a rolling take off when we noticed that the #3 TIT got stucked in 900 while all the other 3 engines were at 1010. We decided to abort the take off and I remember that the airspeed was around 80 kts that time. My PIC immediately put the power levers to FI and used the brakes to stop the aircraft. He did not use the outboard engines for reverse. when we finally completed the abort and while taxiing back to our ramp we noticed that the aircraft was bouncing a little. we immediately inspected the aircraft after shutdown and we found out that the lefthand forward main landing gear had serious shredding to the point that i can see the plies. the tire had shredding on only one side and you can tell by looking at it that the tire got stuck for quite a significant time compared to the other 3. luckily the tire did not burst. The first thing that came to my mind was that the anti skid did not work on this landing gear. we did check the anti skid prior to take off. transducers were checked and was found to be OK. what do you think can cause this? Thanks in advance. rage from Philippines
