    Abstract: An autobrake brake control system includes a shutoff valve configured to receive a hydraulic fluid, a servo valve configured to receive the hydraulic fluid from the shutoff valve and configured to provide the hydraulic fluid to apply braking force to a wheel via a hydraulic line, and a brake control unit in electronic communication with the shutoff valve. The brake control unit is configured to detect a weight-on-wheel (WOW) condition of a nose landing gear, and the brake control unit controls the shutoff valve in response to detecting the WOW condition of the nose landing gear.

    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 brake wear component is disclosed. In various embodiments, the component includes a linear position sensor disposed within a housing and configured to contact a pressure plate of a brake mechanism; a bias element coupled to the linear position sensor and configured to bias the linear position sensor a distance away from the pressure plate during a deactivated state; and an actuating mechanism coupled to the linear position sensor and configured to translate the linear position sensor toward the pressure plate during an activated state.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for shutoff valve control are provided. The system may receive a first hardware logic input, a second hardware logic input, and a weight-on-wheels (WOW) status wherein each of the first hardware logic input, the second hardware logic input, and the WOW status report a binary true or a false. The system may open the shutoff valve when each of the first hardware logic input, the second hardware logic input, and the WOW status report true. The system may close the shutoff valve when any of the first hardware logic input, the second hardware logic input, and the WOW status report false.

    Abstract: A BCU for determining a health status of a LRU having a coil includes a non-transitory memory configured to store instructions and a controller coupled to the non-transitory memory. The controller is designed to receive a temperature from a temperature sensor, to receive a direct current (DC) voltage that is applied to the coil of the LRU, and to receive a detected current corresponding to an amount of current flowing through the coil. The controller is further designed to determine a calculated resistance of the coil based on the detected current and the DC voltage and to determine a compensated resistance of the coil based on the temperature and the calculated resistance of the coil. The controller is further designed to determine the health status of the LRU by comparing the compensated resistance of the coil to a nominal resistance of the coil.
