Narrative:

We were landing in st thomas, vi, on runway 10. There were thunderstorms on the localizer behind us and a few mi north of the localizer all the way to the airport, but it was not yet raining at the airport. The runway was dry. The runway at stt is 5000 ft. The wind was 180 degree at 12 KTS. I touched down at about 1200 ft past the threshold. I was about 5-10 above bug to allow for the thunderstorms and the direct xwinds. I used moderate to heavy braking along with engine reversing to stop. According to the tower (FAA) at about 500 ft from the last turnoff on runway 10, a lot of smoke came out from under the landing gear. As it turned out, it was caused by the fact that wheel mains #1 and #3 momentarily skidded or locked and several layers of cord were rubbed off. However, the wheels (#1 and #3) remained completely inflated. Other than causing a momentary concern, all was well. We taxied to the gate on 4 fully inflated tires and parked at the gate. The problem was, that for what ever the reason, the anti-skid system did not release or correct for the impending skid that came about. Why I don't know. The system did not show any fault lights at the time.

Title: ACR HAS BRAKES LOCK ON LNDG ROLLOUT.

Narrative: WE WERE LNDG IN ST THOMAS, VI, ON RWY 10. THERE WERE TSTMS ON THE LOC BEHIND US AND A FEW MI N OF THE LOC ALL THE WAY TO THE ARPT, BUT IT WAS NOT YET RAINING AT THE ARPT. THE RWY WAS DRY. THE RWY AT STT IS 5000 FT. THE WIND WAS 180 DEG AT 12 KTS. I TOUCHED DOWN AT ABOUT 1200 FT PAST THE THRESHOLD. I WAS ABOUT 5-10 ABOVE BUG TO ALLOW FOR THE TSTMS AND THE DIRECT XWINDS. I USED MODERATE TO HVY BRAKING ALONG WITH ENG REVERSING TO STOP. ACCORDING TO THE TWR (FAA) AT ABOUT 500 FT FROM THE LAST TURNOFF ON RWY 10, A LOT OF SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE LNDG GEAR. AS IT TURNED OUT, IT WAS CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT WHEEL MAINS #1 AND #3 MOMENTARILY SKIDDED OR LOCKED AND SEVERAL LAYERS OF CORD WERE RUBBED OFF. HOWEVER, THE WHEELS (#1 AND #3) REMAINED COMPLETELY INFLATED. OTHER THAN CAUSING A MOMENTARY CONCERN, ALL WAS WELL. WE TAXIED TO THE GATE ON 4 FULLY INFLATED TIRES AND PARKED AT THE GATE. THE PROBLEM WAS, THAT FOR WHAT EVER THE REASON, THE ANTI-SKID SYS DID NOT RELEASE OR CORRECT FOR THE IMPENDING SKID THAT CAME ABOUT. WHY I DON'T KNOW. THE SYS DID NOT SHOW ANY FAULT LIGHTS AT THE TIME.
