Narrative:

We were taxiing out for takeoff, and the captain noticed an 'rel' on the anti skid system panel. The 'rel' light indicated that one of the 4 brake's anti skid system was not working. We stopped the aircraft and read our MEL. After complying with the conditions in the MEL, we proceeded with the inoperative anti skid system without incident. The possible problem was that, although we did check the aircraft's capability on landing at our destination, we did not confer with our dispatcher as to the acceptability of our alternates (now that the anti skid system was inoperative).

Title: A B727 FLT CREW EXPERIENCES AN ANTI SKID PROB AND COMPLY WITH THE MEL, BUT FAIL TO NOTIFY DISP ABOUT THE MEL.

Narrative: WE WERE TAXIING OUT FOR TKOF, AND THE CAPT NOTICED AN 'REL' ON THE ANTI SKID SYS PANEL. THE 'REL' LIGHT INDICATED THAT ONE OF THE 4 BRAKE'S ANTI SKID SYS WAS NOT WORKING. WE STOPPED THE ACFT AND READ OUR MEL. AFTER COMPLYING WITH THE CONDITIONS IN THE MEL, WE PROCEEDED WITH THE INOPERATIVE ANTI SKID SYS WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE POSSIBLE PROB WAS THAT, ALTHOUGH WE DID CHK THE ACFT'S CAPABILITY ON LNDG AT OUR DEST, WE DID NOT CONFER WITH OUR DISPATCHER AS TO THE ACCEPTABILITY OF OUR ALTERNATES (NOW THAT THE ANTI SKID SYS WAS INOP).
