+## GEAR WARNING LIGHT
+
+Illuminates red when:
+
+- Gear is in transit
+- Gear lever position disagrees with landing gear position
+- Gear is not down and locked below 800ft RA with either thrust lever in idle
+
+## LANDING GEAR TRANSFER UNIT
+
+The landing gear retraction normally uses hydraulic system A. The landing gear
+transfer unit uses hydraulic system B to aid in retraction in certain
+conditions:
+
+- Aircraft is airborne
+- Engine N°1 RPM is below a limiting value (engine 1 failed)
+- Landing gear lever is selected up
+- Either main landing gear is not up and locked
+
+## BRAKES / AUTOBRAKES
+
+Normal brakes use hydraulic system B for operation. If system B is not
+available, alternate brakes use system A. If hydraulic system A & B are lost,
+then the brake accumulator can supply limited pressure for brake operation.
+
+Autobrake provides automatic maximum braking in the event of an RTO or
+preselected braking during landing. Autobrake is only available with normal
+brakes. The antiskid system is available with normal and alternate brakes.
+Autobrake RTO will engage only above 90kt wheel speed.
+
+## ANTI SKID SYSTEM
+
+The anti-skid system prevents locked wheels by comparing the wheel speed of the
+two inboard main wheels and the two outboard main wheels. When a locked
+condition is sensed, brake pressure to the slower wheel is released. The
+anti-locking system is available only above 25 kt.
+
+The anti-skid system releases brake pressure to a wheel sensed in a skid
+situation. Protection against hydroplaning is available for wheels 1 & 3; it is
+detected when the wheel speed is 50kt below GS.
