Narrative:

Flight was all night red eye from cos-ewr. On final with gear extension all 4 anti-skid fail lights came on. Approach missed to climb out of icing and holding entered to troubleshoot problem. Due to snow at our alternate and good braking reported at ewr we elected to shoot another approach at ewr. During approach second check of circuit breaker panel discovered the parking brake control circuit breaker popped. Resetting this circuit breaker corrected the problem. Normal landing ensued. Human factors: fatigue from all night flying with severe winter WX probably delayed discovery of popped circuit breaker. Maintenance control in ewr was called on the radio during troubleshooting of problem. They never answered. Their input would have been helpful.

Title: FLC OF AN MLG MADE A MISSED APCH AFTER THE ANTI-SKID SYS LIGHTS INDICATED THAT THE ANTI-SKID WAS NOT OPERATING. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE FLC RESTORED THE SYS BY PUSHING THE PARKING BRAKE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

Narrative: FLT WAS ALL NIGHT RED EYE FROM COS-EWR. ON FINAL WITH GEAR EXTENSION ALL 4 ANTI-SKID FAIL LIGHTS CAME ON. APCH MISSED TO CLB OUT OF ICING AND HOLDING ENTERED TO TROUBLESHOOT PROB. DUE TO SNOW AT OUR ALTERNATE AND GOOD BRAKING RPTED AT EWR WE ELECTED TO SHOOT ANOTHER APCH AT EWR. DURING APCH SECOND CHK OF CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL DISCOVERED THE PARKING BRAKE CTL CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPED. RESETTING THIS CIRCUIT BREAKER CORRECTED THE PROB. NORMAL LNDG ENSUED. HUMAN FACTORS: FATIGUE FROM ALL NIGHT FLYING WITH SEVERE WINTER WX PROBABLY DELAYED DISCOVERY OF POPPED CIRCUIT BREAKER. MAINT CTL IN EWR WAS CALLED ON THE RADIO DURING TROUBLESHOOTING OF PROB. THEY NEVER ANSWERED. THEIR INPUT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL.
