A defrost cycle time of an aircraft vapor cycle refrigeration system is adaptively controlled. A pressure of refrigerant at an inlet of a compressor of the vapor cycle refrigeration system is sensed. A defrost cycle of the vapor cycle refrigeration system is initiated in response to the sensed pressure being less than a threshold pressure. The defrost cycle is terminated upon expiration of the defrost cycle time. The defrost cycle time is based upon a time duration of the cooling cycle.
