  • Aircraft braking performance and runway condition determination
    Patent number: 9663223
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are described herein for assessing aircraft braking performance and runway friction conditions. Aircraft data corresponding to characteristics of an aircraft during a landing event is received and used with a braking performance model to determine an indicator of braking performance. Estimated and brake metered pressures are compared to determine whether a friction-limited condition exists. The data then can be used to make an assessment of the runway friction characteristics and the associated braking capabilities of the runway.
