Abstract
In various embodiments, a method for utilizing a determined coefficient of friction along a portion of a runway is disclosed. The method may include receiving, by a brake control unit, friction estimation map data for a specific runway. The method may include setting, by the brake control unit, a condition of the braking control algorithm based on the received friction estimation map data. The method may include initiating, by the brake control unit, a brake control system to slow a wheel of an aircraft based on the braking control algorithm.
