An aircraft with an electronic brake control unit 120 which is configured to override a lower braking command manually commanded using a first manual brake system 134, if certain pre-set criteria are met, so that the braking force applied by the first brake system is higher than commanded. Preferably, the pre-set criteria may be signals indicating that the aircraft is not in take-off mode, and is not moving above a threshold speed of 15 knots, where the control unit continues to override for at least five seconds after parking mode is manually activated by use of a second parking brake system 136, unless the parking brake system has been used to deactivate parking mode for longer than under 5 seconds, or the level of parking brake force is higher than a threshold. Alternatively claimed is an aircraft with an electronic brake control unit which is configured to intervene following releasing of the brakes pedal(s) by the flight crew, to cause brake force to continue to be applied to at least some wheel brakes until sufficient brake force is applied as a result of activation of a parking brake to hold the aircraft in a parked state.
