[TheList] CHC airport

Sun May 16 09:45:03 AEST 2010

Wow, they have to be extremely hot for that reaction!

With Jet's landing into the wind, Reverse Thrusters and Air Brakes 
combined with Flaps and computer controlled braking pressure that's 
quite unusual. Brake temperature is well monitored and there are alarms 
for high temperatures, but to warrant a fire response it makes me wonder 
what the pilots did or didn't do that caused all this heat. If it was a 
mechanical failure of some kind I doubt the aircraft would have taken 
off as scheduled.

I will try to find out more :-)
