First Claim
Patent Images
1. A controller for indicating an overload condition has occurred during aircraft operation for at least one aircraft tire, wheel and/or at least one aircraft landing gear, said controller configured to:
- receive at least one input indicative of at least one of a load placed on the at least one tire and/or at least one landing gear or an angular velocity of the at least one tire;
determine, based on the at least one input, if the at least one tire or landing gear corresponding to the at least one tire has exceeded a prespecified threshold; and
based on the determination, provide an output indicative an overload condition of the at least one tire or the landing gear corresponding to the at least one tire.

Abstract
A system, apparatus and method provide a means for indicating an overload condition has occurred during aircraft operation. The occurrence of an overload condition is automatically determined and an indication output thereof. Based on the indication received by the cockpit, avionics, maintenance, etc., further action may be taken to correct the effects of the overload condition on the tires and/or landing gear.

12. A method of indicating an overload condition has occurred for at during aircraft operation for at least one aircraft tire, wheel and/or at least one aircraft landing gear, comprising:
-
determining at least one of a load placed on the at least one tire or an angular velocity of the at least one tire; determining, based on at least one of the load or the angular velocity, if the at least one tire or landing gear corresponding to the at least one tire has exceeded a prespecified threshold; and based on the determination, providing an output indicative of an overload condition of the at least one tire or the landing gear corresponding to the at least one tire. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
