DESIGN DIRECTIVE 2100/X
In the case of fly by wire systems, with specific reference to braking systems a number of modes are missing. These missing modes correspond to what is termed the Rainboe effect, a set of considerations hitherto unappreciated by aircraft braking system developers working with predicative logic. The issues of translating some of these ambiguous Rainboe states into formal boolean logic are still under review.
To summarise these new braking modes are:
HHHC: Has he had his coffee
FF: Feeling feisty.
SEXI: Sheer exuberance of it.
NOEIS: No end in sight.
EIS: End in sight (approximates to MAX BRAKE).
BSLFH: Bang self loading freight heads.
LJDOI: Let’s just do it.
HHHC: Let the linear speed measured by the wheel tachometer be ..... (CENSORED)
