SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Brake To Vacate (BTV) function optimizes the autobrake deceleration on landing in order to reach the selected runway exit point/ manually entered landing distance. The system takes into account the selected runway condition/braking action in its calculations. Once armed, the system works autonomously to delay braking in order to reduce brake wear, optimize the runway occupancy time (ROT) and improve passenger comfort. SETTING UP BTV In order for BTV to function, it needs information such as your stopping target stopping distance and runway condition. This information can be provided by 2 ways: via Exit Selection on the …
