April 22, 201214 yr Should the brake temprature be 0 after landing? I was hoping the brake disc would be glowing (showing a bit of heat), a bit like you get on the 747 Queen of the sky? Did you use reverse? What brake setting did you use? Land with max autobrake and no reverse thrust and you're guaranteed to get them warm. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

In FPPM it is a chart with recommendations for brakes value Below 2.5 not action is required Between 2.5 and 7.5 you need cooling time between 1 to 100 mins (on ground) before departure (if you are in flight you need down gear between 1 to 9,5 mins) If indication is over 7.5 and up, you can't departure again, and is fuse plug melt zone (wheel fuse plugs may melt) See ya!

Auto brakes 2 but stepped on the brakes hard to make the taxiway. A couple of seconds of revese. A bit vague I know. I will have to do a RTO stop to get things hot down there.
