TL;DR: The method of controlling aircraft braking during landing on a runway as soon as the running gear of the main landing gear has made runway contact and prior to the nose gear making contact is described in this paper.
Abstract: The method of controlling aircraft braking during landing on a runway as soon as the running gear of the main landing gear has made runway contact and prior to the nose gear making contact, comprises: determining the value of the nose-up angle Δ of the aircraft as soon as it makes runway contact with its main landing gear; providing a signal representative of the value of the nose-up angle; and controlling braking of the aircraft by any appropriate braking apparatus as a function of a magnitude representative of the signal to ensure acceptable variation of said nose-up angle.

05 Nov 1993TL;DR: In this article, a ground proximity warning system and a detector for aircraft having fixed or non-retractable landing gear is presented, which rather accurately detects a landing phase of flight in order to adjust the warning envelope to minimize nuisance warnings during such a phase.
Abstract: A ground proximity warning system and a detector for aircraft having fixed or non-retractable landing gear which rather accurately detects a landing phase of flight in order to adjust the warning envelope to minimize nuisance warnings during such a phase of flight. In particular, the system monitors the flap position to provide an indication to the ground proximity warning system that the aircraft is either in an approach, cruise or landing phase of flight. Cams mounted to the air flaps system indicate a landing phase of flight when the approach flaps are configured for a normal landing, such as 16°-18° flaps or an approach phase of flight when the flaps are configured for a normal approach, for example, 5°-7° flaps. By providing a relatively accurate indication of the phase of flight for an aircraft with non-retractable landing gear, nuisance alarms will be virtually eliminated, while maximum protection is provided during all phases of flight.
