Embodiment Construction
[0030] Many aircraft, particularly those of airlines, are equipped with one or more monitoring systems for monitoring the condition and / or performance of aircraft components. An example of such a monitoring system is a Brake Temperature Monitoring System (BTMS) for measuring and monitoring the temperature of wheel brakes. The BTMS includes a temperature sensor for each wheel brake of each set of wheels that can be braked. Each of the temperature sensors communicates with a central computer, usually located in the avionics bay of the aircraft. The BTMS computer monitors the measured brake temperature and may generate an alarm in certain circumstances, for example if the brakes are too hot for the aircraft to take off. Similarly, a tire pressure monitoring system may include a pressure sensor for each tire that provides data to a central computer. Other monitoring systems such as brake wear pins rely on visual inspection of sensors or measuring equipment by ground personnel. ...
