A system and method are provided for controlling the movement of an aircraft engine cowl door between an open position and a closed position. The system includes an electric motor, at least one actuator, and an electrically operated brake. The actuator is coupled to the motor and is operable to move the cowl door between the closed and the open position. The electrically operated brake is coupled to the electric motor and the at least one actuator and is configured, upon being energized, to supply a unidirectional resisting torque load to the electric motor that does not prevent motor rotation.
