An aircraft brake system may include a linear variable differential transformer (“LVDT”). A brake control unit (“BCU”) may measure an output voltage from the LVDT. The BCU may include a hardware module, a software module, and an offset module. The hardware module may include a preprogrammed threshold voltage. The output voltage may be measured, and an offset voltage may be determined and stored in the offset module. The software module may measure the sum of the output voltage and the offset voltage. In response to the hardware module and the software module indicating that the threshold voltage has been reached, the BCU may allow braking of the aircraft.
