Abstract
An aircraft braking system comprising: a first group (Ga) of actuators and a second group (Gb) of actuators. A first control module (105a) is adapted, in a nominal mode, to control the first group, and in a reconfigured mode, to control the first group and the second group. A second control module (105b) is adapted, in a nominal mode, to control the second group, and in a reconfigured mode, to control the first group and the second group. A monitoring unit adapted is adapted to monitor the first control module and the second control module, and to put the first control module into the reconfigured mode of operation when the monitoring unit detects a failure of the second control module, and to put the second control module into the reconfigured mode when the monitoring unit detects a failure of the first control module.
