Autobrakes


Autobrakes provide a deceleration rate selectable in several increments depending on what is required


This rate is sensed through an inertial input however older aircraft such as some B727 and 737-200’s had autobrakes fitted with no inertial system or input available



curious as to how these systems functioned, was a deceleration rate determined in some other manner or did it just provide varying levels of brake pressure depending on selection?
