Abstract: An aircraft brake control system for controlling operation of a plurality of carbon brakes is provided. Each brake includes at least one brake actuator that is responsive to an electrical drive control signal for applying squeeze force to a brake disk stack for effecting a braking torque on a wheel of a vehicle. The control system includes a controller for providing electrical drive control signals to one or more of the brake actuators in response to an input brake command signal from a pilot to effect application of squeeze force to the brake disk stack to effect a braking operation. The brake controller is configured for taxi mode operation during aircraft taxiing to provide electrical drive control signals to one or more of the brake actuators that cause some or all of the brake actuators to provide continued light braking during taxiing even when the controller is not commanded by the input brake command signal from the pilot to effect a braking operation.
