Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method to control braking of an aircraft on a landing runway including: selecting a dummy runway state corresponding to a level of adhesion of wheels of the aircraft to a runway which is lower, over an entire speed range of the aircraft while braking on a runway, than an adhesion level of the wheels of the aircraft to the landing runway; calculating a set point of a deceleration value for the aircraft on the landing runway based on the landing runway for the selected dummy runway state, wherein the calculated set point corresponds to maximum braking value of the aircraft, and controlling the braking of the aircraft using the set point.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method to control braking of an aircraft on a landing runway comprising: storing data regarding dummy runway states wherein the data for each dummy runway state correlates an adhesion level of wheels of the aircraft to landing speeds of the aircraft for a specific weather condition; selecting one of the dummy runway states which corresponds to a level of adhesion of wheels of the aircraft to a runway which is no greater, over an entire speed range…
