Abstract
A method of managing the braking of an aircraft, the aircraft having a plurality of wheels R, . . . , R, each fitted with a brake F, . . . , Fadapted to generate a braking force in response to brake pedalsbeing depressed. The management method comprising the steps of (1) distributing the wheels fitted with respective brakes in at least two distinct groups G, G, G, G', G′, G′; (2) allocating respective braking relationships to each of the groups of wheels for determining how braking force varies as a function of the depression of the brake pedals; and (3) acting at predetermined intervals to permutate the allocation of the relationships to the groups in application of a predefined permutation relationship. The method also includes a step of modifying the permutation relationship in response to the occurrence of a predetermined event.
