ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for controlling wheel brakes on aircraft and other vehicles. In one embodiment, a method for slowing a vehicle on the ground can include applying a first brake to a first wheel and a second brake to a second wheel. The method can further include determining if a first speed sensor associated with the first wheel and a second speed sensor associated with the second wheel are operative. When the first and second speed sensors are operative, the first and second brakes can be controlled according to a first routine. Conversely, when at least one of the first and second speed sensors is inoperative, the first and second brakes can be controlled according to a second routine.
