Disclosed is a braking system 200 for an aircraft. The aircraft comprises a landing gear arrangement comprising a pair of wheels 110L, 110R sharing a common axis of rotation, each wheel having a brake. The braking system is operable in a first mode in which the braking system is supplied with hydraulic pressure from a primary hydraulic circuit 202 and a second mode in which the braking system is supplied with hydraulic pressure from a backup hydraulic circuit 204. In both modes the braking system is arranged to reduce hydraulic pressure to the brake of the first wheel of the pair when there is a difference between a detected rate of rotation of the first wheel and an expected rate of rotation, while maintaining hydraulic pressure to the brake of the second wheel of the pair when there is a correspondence between a detected rate of rotation of the second wheel and the expected rate of rotation. The backup hydraulic circuit may include an accumulator arranged to receive pressurized hydraulic fluid the primary hydraulic circuit. Also disclosed is an aircraft with the abovementioned system, a method of operating a braking system, and a computer program which executes the method.
