Claim 17:
18. A method of braking a vehicle having a brake stack connected to a wheel, comprising:
applying an input brake load to a braking system having a first plurality of brake actuators and a second plurality of brake actuators operably coupled to the brake stack and powered by a brake control module;
activating the first plurality of brake actuators in response to the input brake load being less than a threshold brake load, including commanding a first pressure be applied to the first plurality of brake actuators and commanding that zero pressure be applied to the second plurality of brake actuators; and
activating both the first plurality of brake actuators and the second plurality of brake actuators in response to the input brake load being greater than the threshold brake load, including commanding that a second pressure be applied to both the first plurality of brake actuators and the second plurality of brake actuators.
