1. A method of taxiing an aircraft, the method comprising:
receiving, via a brake controller, a first thrust angle of a first throttle and a second thrust angle of a second throttle;
determining, via the brake controller and based on the first thrust angle and the second thrust angle, whether the aircraft is taxiing with a first thrust from a first engine provided on a first side of the aircraft, a second thrust from a second engine provided on a second side of the aircraft, or both the first thrust and the second thrust; and
responsive to determining that the aircraft is taxiing with the first thrust only, modifying, via the brake controller, a first brake pressure supplied to a first brake disposed on the first side of the aircraft as a function of pedal displacement by controlling operation of a servo valve to supply, a first pressure at a first pedal displacement during taxiing with the first thrust only that is greater than a second pressure supplied at the first pedal displacement during normal taxiing.
