This invention relates to a computer network for calculating and distributing the true braking coefficient of aircraft on runways and taxiways using, in part, the aircraft itself, by utilizing dynamic aircraft properties recorded on and obtained from the aircraft's flight data management system. Environmental and aircraft parameters may also be used to calculate the braking friction coefficient. A computer and network are used to obtain data and to calculate the friction coefficient, and may be used to distribute the result. The network may utilize, at least in part, wireless local area networks to facilitate data transfer and distribution of the result. The computer for calculating the braking coefficient may be located on the aircraft. |
