Abstract:
1. A braking system for an aircraft comprising: a brake pedal transducer for generating a brake pedal actuation signal when a brake pedal is applied; brake actuation means for activating a brake on receipt of a braking signal; braking pressure transducer means for generating a braking output signal related to the braking force applied to the brake; primary processing means in electrical communication with the brake pedal transducer and the brake actuation means and adapted to generate a braking signal on receipt of a brake pedal actuation signal; secondary processing means adapted to receive the brake pedal actuation signal and braking output signal; and a bypass braking control system adapted to receive the brake pedal actuation signal from the brake pedal transducer and generate a braking signal in response to the brake pedal actuation signal; the secondary processing means being adapted to disable the primary processing means and enable the bypass braking control system on detection of undemanded braking or loss of braking from the brake pedal actuation signal and braking output signal.
