Hi,

 

Where and when do you monitor the brake temperatures? I can see that it is displayed on the lower CDU but during landing you want to focus on the runway right :-)

 

 

Thanks Michael

You're right that it is there you see it, but it's during taxi and after landing, when taxiing in to the gate you just would look at it and see what it tells you. :-) Normally it would rise when you've made a rejected takeoff. ;-) and when braking hard during taxi. ;-) hope this clarified it abit. :-)

During taxi, on my side, even if I use brakes, I notice 0 at brake temperature.

As has been mentioned previously, the brake temp gauge does not give an actual temperature reading. It is just a scale from 0 to 10. It also takes a fair bit of braking to get it to register and there is also a delay which simulates the time taken for the heat to spread to the sensor.

Exactly, so if you brake hard a couple of times or after a RTO it would defenetly show. ;-) I have only tried this/seen this during my full sim flight during the TR. :-) It's not installed in those I fly in. :-)
