Abstract
A braking system for an aircraft may comprise: a brake assembly including a brake stack; an electric braking subsystem having an electric brake actuator configured to operate the brake assembly; and a controller in operable communication with the electric braking subsystem, the controller configured to perform a wear depth measurement process, the wear depth measurement process comprising: determine a reference position of the electric brake actuator; command the electric brake actuator to extend toward the brake stack; receive a force measurement from a load cell in response to the electric brake actuator contacting the brake stack; determine a linear travel distance of the electric brake actuator based on an end position determined from the force measurement; and determine a wear depth based on calculating a difference between the linear travel distance and a prior linear travel distance of the electric brake actuator.
