Classification: CPC B  F | IPC B  F

Claim 9:
10. A braking system, comprising:
a brake stack;
a first brake mechanism coupled to a first wheel, the first brake mechanism including:
a first brake cavity operably coupled to the brake stack, the first brake cavity including a first plurality of brake actuators, and
a second brake cavity operably coupled to the brake stack, the second brake cavity including a second plurality of brake actuators;
a brake control module; and

a first directional control valve disposed between the brake control module and the second brake cavity and configured to move from a closed position to an open position,
wherein the first directional control valve is configured to activate the first plurality of brake actuators and block the second plurality of brake actuators in response to the first directional control valve being in the closed position,
wherein the first directional control valve is configured to activate the first plurality of brake actuators and the second plurality of brake actuators under the same pressure in response to the first directional control valve being in the open position, the first directional control valve being in the open position in response to an input brake load being greater than a threshold brake load.
