A method for controlling brakes may comprise detecting, by a brake control unit (BCU), an aircraft speed, determining, by the BCU, that the aircraft speed is at least one of at or above a threshold value, determining, by the BCU, that an auto-brake control has been enabled, receiving, by the BCU, an antiskid desired pressure that is output from an antiskid control, the BCU comprising a brake control executive (BKX), the antiskid desired pressure being received by the BCU, and receiving, by the BCU, a desired pressure comprising at least one of a deceleration control desired pressure from a deceleration control (DK) or a pilot desired pressure from a manual brake control, the desired pressure being received by the BKX.
