At what point does normal skid control perform its function in the landing operation?

When wheel rotation deceleration indicates an impending skid
Immediately after touchdown
During final approach
Before the landing gear is deployed

The correct answer is: When wheel rotation deceleration indicates an impending skid

Normal skid control performs its function in the landing operation when wheel rotation deceleration indicates an impending skid. This is crucial for maintaining control during the landing rollout phase. By monitoring wheel rotation deceleration, the system can detect when a skid is likely to occur and take corrective action to prevent it, such as adjusting brake pressure. This helps ensure a safe and smooth landing without risking skidding or loss of control. Option B is incorrect because normal skid control needs to be proactive and prevent a skid before it actually occurs, not after touchdown. Option C is incorrect as skid control is specifically focused on the landing phase and not during the final approach. Option D is incorrect because skid control is not related to the deployment of the landing gear, but rather to the control of wheel rotation during the landing rollout.
