Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring the wear of carbon brakes of an aircraft are disclosed herein. The systems and methods include a 3-axis acceleration sensor module mounted on a brake assembly, the 3-axis acceleration sensor module configured to detect acceleration events of the brake assembly in three different component directions. The systems and methods further include a memory module operably connected to the 3-axis acceleration sensor module, the memory module configured to store acceleration events detected by the 3-axis acceleration sensor module and to store a pre-determined threshold for determining carbon brake wear based upon a number of acceleration events detected in a single component direction of the three different component directions. The systems and methods also include a processor module operably connected the processor module configured to compare the stored acceleration events detected in a single direction of the three different directions to the stored pre-determined threshold.
