A system includes a sensor, a transmitter, and an aircraft having a processing circuit and a transceiver. The sensor is configured to measure contamination on a runway surface and to output contamination information relating to the measured contamination. The transmitter is configured to receive the contamination information and to wirelessly communicate the received contamination information. The transceiver is configured for wireless communication with the transmitter. The processing circuit is configured to receive the contamination information, determine a plurality of landing parameters based on the contamination information, and control at least one of a wheel brake or a reverse thruster in response to determining the plurality of landing parameters.
A system for use with a sensor configured to measure contamination on a runway surface and to output contamination information relating to the measured contamination, and a transmitter configured to receive the contamination information and to wirelessly communicate the received contamination information, the system comprising:
A method comprising:
A brake control unit having a processing circuit configured to be communicably coupled to a transceiver of an aircraft, the processing circuit configured to:
