    Abstract: A method for brake health monitoring may include sending, by a brake control unit (BCU), a brake command signal to initiate a braking maneuver, and receiving a first wheel speed signal and a second wheel speed signal corresponding to the speed of first and second wheels, respectively, during the braking maneuver. The BCU may detect that the speed of the first wheel is greater than the speed of the second wheel by a predetermined threshold, and, in response thereto, post an alert indicating a failure in a brake control component associated with the first wheel based upon the detection of the speed of the first wheel being greater than the speed of the second wheel by the predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: A system for detecting aircraft brake failure using retract braking may comprise a landing gear including a wheel, a brake coupled to the wheel, and a wheel sensor coupled to the wheel. A brake controller may be coupled to the brake and the wheel sensor. The brake controller may be configured to receive a begin retract braking signal, command the brake to apply a braking force to the wheel, calculate a wheel speed characteristic using data from the wheel sensor, and determine whether the wheel speed characteristic indicates a failure of the brake.

    Abstract: A system for performing brake testing during flight of an aircraft, in accordance with various embodiments, includes a landing gear having at least one wheel assembly. The system further includes a brake configured to apply a braking force to the at least one wheel assembly. The system further includes a brake controller configured to determine a landing event indicating that the aircraft is approaching a landing, control the brake to apply a testing brake force to the at least one wheel assembly in response to determining the landing event, and determine an operational status of the brake based on the testing brake force.

    Abstract: A system and method of identifying part failures is provided. The system may comprise monitoring a sensor, detecting a failure mode, selecting a row from a lookup table corresponding to the failure mode, looking up a line replaceable unit (LRU) failure probability for the detected failure mode, and reporting the LRU failure probability for the detected failure mode.

    Abstract: An emergency park brake system of an aircraft may include a user input interface configured to receive actuation input from a user. The emergency park brake system may also include a first displacement sensor and a second displacement sensor that are both coupled to the user input interface. The first displacement sensor may be configured to detect displacement of the user input interface and generate a first status of the user input interface and the second displacement sensor may be configured to also detect displacement of the user input interface and generate a second status of the user input interface. The emergency park brake system may also include a controller having a processor and memory. The controller may be configured to determine an emergency park brake condition.
