A brake monitoring system is described for use on aircraft having carbon brakes. The system displays the number of times the brakes have been applied in a preselected counting interval such as during each takeoff and landing cycle. By raising the pilot's awareness of the number of times the brakes have been applied, a more efficient brake use is encouraged in view of the knowledge that carbon brake wear is substantially a function of the number of applications rather than the total energy that is converted thereby. Additionally, the monitoring system provides an indication of the temperature of the brakes which encourages the pilot to maintain a minimum temperature therein beyond which wear is reduced.

La présente invention se rapporte à un système de surveillance de freins pour un usage sur un avion équipé de freins en carbone. Le système affiche le nombre de fois où les freins ont été appliqués à l'intérieur d'un intervalle de comptage présélectionné - comme, par exemple, au cours de chaque cycle de décollage et d'atterrissage. En aiguisant la prise de conscience du pilote par rapport au nombre de fois où les freins ont été appliqués, un usage plus efficace des freins est encouragé en tenant compte du fait que l'usure de freins en carbone est sensiblement fonction du nombre d'applications et non pas de l'énergie totale qui est convertie de ce fait. En outre, le système de surveillance fournit une indication de la température des freins qui encourage le pilote à maintenir une température minimum au-delà de laquelle l'usure est réduite.
