Hopefully my first post on PPRUNE will get me some information.
I am an MSc student doing some research into A/c warning systems. My current topic is the Brake Temp Hot warning.
I have been told that the Boeing & Airbus systems differ in that Boeings monitor the temp in the bay and give a warning to tell the pilot to deploy the gear if its triggered. Airbus, however, monitor the temp of the brake and do not allow retraction if it is over the limit.
Is this correct? What are your opinions on these different systems? What is the effect on turn around times, for instance? Any resource material to recommend?
Thanks for your help ...
