Air France Jet Skids Of Runaway At Pearson
#37
See this is what i don't understand,

this is an AIRBUS 340 right...huge aircraft. Now aircraft always have redundant systems built in IE. secondary hydraulic systems, and so on. If this aircraft was under COMPLETE power loss, braking systems always have an emergency system of some sort, just for such scenerios, which should of stopped this aircraft way before the gulley.

I work on CF-18's myself, and they have an accumulator type system for emergencies. if there is a complete hydraulic loss, the emergency accumluator uses nitrogen to force hydraulic fluid to the braking system to stop the jet. They also have a tail hook mind you to engage the cable if they need to. I'm just curious on why such a huge jet as this 340, still couldn't stop in time when it should of had plenty of stopping power in the emergency system..

(okay okay i'm an aviation nerd)
