The present disclosure relates to a method of measuring wear of a disk in an aircraft brake having a wear indicator that is movably mounted on a stationary portion of the aircraft brake and that moves progressively with increasing wear of the disk. The method includes using a picture-taking appliance to take at least one photograph of the wear indicator while an aircraft is stationary on the ground, and estimating a position of the wear indicator and a wear level of the disk by analyzing the photograph.
