Aircraft electric brake actuation system and method

摘要

Aircraft brakes in an aircraft that includes a brake pedal and an electric brake actuator are controlled by at least determining an aircraft operational state and determining an application force that is supplied to the brake pedal. When the determined aircraft operational state is a ground-idle state and the determined application force is greater than a set force magnitude, an actuator brake is moved to engage the electric brake actuator and the electric brake actuator is de-energized.
