Narrative:

I have a concern with a Q400 emergency checklist; specifically the inbd/outbd anti-skid checklist. Using the checklist; if I am unable to reset the system it tells me to be careful using the brakes on landing. Then it refers me to performance references which say to use full anti-skid braking on landing in the notes at the bottom of the references. I have 2 concerns: 1) pilots are being misled and could blow out all the medium large transport tires while correctly following checklist guidance. 2) if performance references assume the pilot will use full anti-skid braking; then they may not be providing accurate landing distance information with the anti-skid inoperative.

Title: A Q400 Captain noted that the QRH INBD/OUTBD ANTI-SKID Checklist and associated performance references may be misleading and cause a pilot to use full braking; thus damaging the tires or use an incorrect landing distance with antiskid inop.
