Abstract
Enhanced directional stability in an aircraft anti-skid braking system is achieved by using one common deceleration command (16) which is a selected one of left and right brake pedal deceleration commands (19, 119). The individual brake pedal deceleration commands (19, 119) are used to modify (34, 134) the common or selected deceleration command (16) and provide respective side wheel velocity commands to retain a differential braking capability (36, 136), and thereby avoid the potential for instability inherent when utilizing individual deceleration commands for the left and right wheel brakes of an aircraft.
