I would like to know if any carrier has a specific strategy they use to keep their -8 brakes less hot during landing.
We have had a lot of problems with the -8 brakes overheating...pretty much no problems on the -400.
If you work for who I think you do, go to the Training Center web site. 744/8 -> Training and reference material -> 747 Training Supplements -> Advisory Landing Distance 2016 -> This subject starts on page 17. IMO page 22 deserves special emphasis.
The entire presentation is excellent. Ignored by the rest of the Training Center, but excellent.
