Methods and apparatuses for selecting a plurality of brake assemblies desired for activation during an aircraft taxi braking event from a total number of brake assemblies are disclosed. One method includes determining an estimated peak temperature for each brake assembly and determining a first subset of the brake assemblies having an estimated peak temperature within a predetermined temperature range. The method also includes determining whether the number of first subset brake assemblies is greater than or equal to the number of brake assemblies desired for braking. At least a portion of the first subset brake assemblies is then activated if the number of brake assemblies in the first subset is determined to be greater than or equal to the number of desired brake assemblies, wherein the number of brake assemblies in the activated portion of the first subset is greater than or equal to the number of desired brake assemblies.
