METHOD FOR MONITORING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BRAKES OF AN AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR

A device for monitoring a maximum temperature reached during a landing by a brake of a landing gear of an aircraft is implemented. The monitoring device uses a prediction model to estimate (102) a maximum temperature reached by the brake during landing. An error between the estimated maximum temperature and the measured maximum temperature is then determined (103). If the error between the estimated maximum temperature and the measured maximum temperature is greater than a first predefined threshold S1, when the measured maximum temperature is greater than the estimated maximum temperature, or a second predefined threshold S2, when the measured maximum temperature is lower than the estimated maximum temperature, and if a total number of errors is greater than a third predefined threshold S3, then an alert message is generated (106) for the attention of the crew and/or ground personnel. It is thus possible to anticipate maintenance actions on the elements of a landing gear.
