With regard to braking techniques, there are a few choices. Would like to know if anyone here could shed light on their effect on temperature

1. Brake pressure vs Length of application

One could use lighter but longer braking applications vs. shorter but harder braking to slow down to the same speed

2. Higer vs Lower Max Taxi speed:

One could limit max taxi speed below max so that braking is more frequent but potentially with shorter applications with less force

3. Limiting minimum taxi speed

After reaching max taxi speed one could choose to use frequent light braking to slow down less than one normally would overall effect is less braking time but more frequent applications


Overall it seems that the choice comes down to shorter more frequent braking vs. Longer less frequent braking and which one is better for reducing brake energy
