  • Method of reporting runway condition using brake control system
    Patent number: 9701401
    Abstract: A system and method for objectively evaluating an airport runway condition, where conditions pertaining to aircraft landing factors are compiled and used to determine a runway braking condition. One set of conditions pertains to aircraft landing factors, including brake metered pressure, wheel speed, and aircraft deceleration, and a second set of factors relate to pilot controlled parameters. A condition report is generated and made available to pilots of subsequently landing aircrafts prior to landing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2017
    Assignee: Hydro-Aire, Inc.
    Inventors: Ronald Raby, John Gowan, Gregg Duane Butterfield
