Methods and systems are provided for improved autobraking systems for aircraft. Such systems and methods include a pedal balance controller configured to receive one of a yaw angle, a yaw speed, and a wheel speed, and an autobrake pedal executive module configured to send an autobrake left pedal command and an autobrake right pedal command to a pedal executive module, wherein the pedal executive module is configured to execute a pedal command. These systems and methods may assist a pilot in maintaining a desired course during autobraking.

The system of claim 5, wherein the pedal balance controller is configured to receive at least one of a yaw angle, a yaw speed, or a wheel speed. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the pedal executive controller is configured to receive the pilot pedal input, the pilot pedal input comprising a pilot left pedal input and a pilot right pedal input. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the autobrake left pedal command and the autobrake right pedal command are calculated to maintain a desired course of the aircraft. 9. A method for autobraking an aircraft comprising: receiving, at an autobrake controller, an aircraft acceleration target;receiving, at a pedal balance controller, at least one of a yaw angle, a yaw speed, or a wheel speed;generating, by the autobrake controller, an initial single autobrake pedal command, the initial single autobrake pedal command being generated independent from a pilot pedal input and the initial single autobrake pedal command being based on the aircraft acceleration target;receiving, at an autobrake pedal executive controller, the initial single autobrake pedal command from the autobrake controller;sending, from the pedal balance controller, an autobrake pedal correction factor to the autobrake pedal executive controller, the autobrake pedal correction factor being independent from the pilot pedal input;sending, from the autobrake pedal executive controller, an autobrake left pedal command and an autobrake right pedal command to a pedal executive controller, the autobrake left pedal command and the autobrake right pedal command independent from the pilot pedal input;sending, from the pedal executive controller, a pedal command based on the autobrake left pedal command and the autobrake right pedal command; andexecuting, by a pedal braking controller, the pedal command received from the pedal executive controller. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving, at the autobrake controller, an aircraft acceleration feedback. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the aircraft acceleration target is received from a cockpit device. 12. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving, at the autobrake pedal executive controller, the at least one autobrake pedal correction factor. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein executing the pedal command comprises sending a signal to an electric brake system. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein executing the pedal command comprises sending a signal to a hydraulic brake system. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein the autobrake left pedal command and the autobrake right pedal command are calculated to maintain a desired course of the aircraft. 16. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving, at the pedal executive controller, the autobrake left pedal command and the autobrake right pedal command prior to sending the pedal command. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising receiving, at the pedal executive controller, the pilot pedal input prior to sending the pedal command. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the pilot pedal input comprises a pilot left pedal input and a pilot right pedal input. 19. The method of claim 9, wherein the pedal command is based on the at least one of the yaw angle, the yaw speed, or the wheel speed. 20. The method of claim 9, wherein the autobrake pedal executive controller is configured to provide automatic deceleration of the aircraft independent of the pilot pedal input.
