A method for estimating a loading criterion relating to the load experienced by a structural component of an aircraft, and assistance with detecting a so-called 'hard' landing. The method includes measuring parameters of the aircraft and calculating at least one loading criterion for the loading of the structural component using at least one neural network receiving the parameters as input. Assistance with detecting a hard landing then includes determining of a time of impact of the aircraft on a landing strip from the measured parameters, then estimating a plurality of the parameters at the determined time of impact so as to calculate the at least one loading criterion relating to the loading of the structural component.

A braking-energy equalization system applied to an aircraft undercarriage, which undercarriage includes at least two sets of landing gear, with each set of landing gear including at least two wheels and with each of wheels being equipped with a brake, wherein the system includes means intended to introduce a delay time to delay the braking of the brakes having a higher braking torque in comparison with the other brakes having a lower braking torque, so as to equalize the braking energies absorbed by the brakes of the landing gear during the landing or during an interrupted takeoff of the aircraft.
