    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for controlling braking systems. In this regard, a method for controlling brakes may comprise receiving, by an antiskid control (ASK), a first wheel speed, calculating, by the ASK, a first wheel reference speed (WRS), and calculating, by the ASK, a first wheel reference estimate (WRE). In various embodiments, the method may further comprise determining if the first WRS is within a threshold value of the first WRE. In various embodiments, the method may further comprise calculating an ASK desired pressure. The ASK desired pressure may be calculated using the first WRS in response to the first WRS being within the threshold value of the first WRE. The ASK desired pressure may be calculated using the first WRE in response to the first WRS being outside the threshold value of the first WRE.

    Abstract: An electronic actuator control system and method (“system”) are provided. The system may comprise an electro-mechanical actuator (EMA) configured to generate a force and an electro-mechanical actuator controller (EMAC) electrically coupled to the EMA. The EMAC may include a non-transitory memory communicating with the EMAC, the non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the EMAC, cause a processor to perform operations. The operations carried out by the EMAC may comprise commanding the EMA to apply a force, determining an expected voltage in response to the force, measuring a voltage generated by the EMA, and comparing the voltage generated by the EMA to the expected voltage.

    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting an uncommanded brake overdrive condition in an aircraft brake control system. Method comprises monitoring, by an electric brake actuator controller (EBAC) in the brake control system, at least one of the following: a load cell current for deviation from a nominal load cell current and a load cell output signal (LC Sig+) and (LC Sig−) of a plurality of individual load cells and an excitation voltage signal comprising a (Vexc+) signal and a (Vexc−) signal. EBAC detects at least one resistance disturbance indicating the uncommanded brake overdrive condition if load cell current is less than nominal load cell current, if an absolute value of the difference between a sum of LC Sig+LC Sig− for at least one individual load cell and a sum of Vexc++Vexc− is greater than a predefined threshold, or both.

    Abstract: Methods for testing the operation of an aircraft braking system utilize the steps of applying a predetermined electrical energy level to an electromechanical actuator attached to a brake assembly, followed by discontinuing electrical energy to the electromechanical actuator. In some test methods, an actuation level of the electromechanical actuator is determined and used to evaluate braking performance. In other tests, a voltage generated by an electric motor in an actuator is measured and used to evaluate braking performance.
