Could an airliner abort a landing after using the brakes system while landing? Everyone knows that doing a go-around is a normal procedure, although the go-around happens usually before applying the brakes system (spoilers, ground/air brakes, and/or thrust reversers), but, could you perform an aborted landing after using any brakes system?

Of course, this is not for a normal flight/landing, and there must be some conditions, like enough runway to gain speed again, and of course you should be not so low from Vr speed.

Let's see why someone could do an aborted landing after braking: There were at least two cases (Atlantic Airways Flight 670 and TAM Flight 3054) where the braking system just "fails" (actually both were a pilot's error, but let's say that was just a mechanical error).

Of course you will only notice that the braking system is failing when you activate it, and maybe is not like they are not working at all, but just working poorly, so you could see that the speed is slowing down, but also you can see that is not normal and maybe you just need to takeoff again and do another approach, or even going to another airport for a longer runway so you could safety brake with your malfunctional braking system.

After that explanation, I have two questions:


Can you technically perform an aborted landing after braking? I mean, could the automated braking system or the flaps settings interfere?
Would be this procedure be in any airline/airplane manual in case of a malfunctional braking system while landing? (i.e., an official procedure for this type of case)
Immediately after touchdown, the autobrakes will start to function, and may start applying the brakes depending on the aircraft's deceleration and the commanded deceleration.  If the pilot hasn't yet started to deploy the thrust reversers, a go-around is still possible at this point.  Advancing the throttles will disengage the autobrakes, and it's a normal balked landing from that point.

Also, advancing the throttles will stow the speedbrakes as well -- this is the way the system is designed, for exactly this sort of a condition.

As discussed elsewhere, once the thrust reversers are deployed, you are committed to stopping; a go-around is no longer safe to attempt after that.

If the brakes malfunctioned in a manner that the crew only became aware of after landing, chances are that they'd only become aware of it well after the thrust reversers were deployed, so the go-around isn't going to happen in response to that.  Thankfully, the wheel brakes on modern airliners are extremely reliable, and I can't think of any example of this sort of a failure.  If it did happen, you'd stay in max reverse as long as possible, use the EMAS if the runway has it, and use any available braking that you have (i.e. if the brakes on one wheel had failed but the others hadn't).  But it's not something that tends to happen on modern jets.
