Analysis
After completing a dual instructional flt in 91 to 103 deg wx, the acft landed uneventfully. The PIC failed to follow the required procedure in the flight manual of turning off the anti-skid switch after clearing the rwy. Rather, he used the outdated procedure in an old checklist card & left the anti-skid switch on. As the PIC parked the acft the anti-skid control unit malfunctioned & released brake pressure. By the time the PIC regained control by activating the emergency pneumatic brake system, the acft had collided with a Cessna 500 & an aero commander 500S. Two years earlier a service letter had been issued stating that the anti-skid control unit could malfunction at temps over 100 deg f. the operator had failed to comply with the sl & had not submitted the unit for modification. Within the past month the PIC & the company chief plt had obtained type ratings in the acft from a designated plt examiner.
