Thanks all for taking the time to reply. So likely reasons: forgot, hot brakes or a brake/s deactivated.

Dange, thanks for your recollections on dealing with hot brakes. The model you flew had no brake cooling fans. Would that still be the case today?

bigbird, interesting to hear about the deactivated brake thing. Question; if a brake were deactivated, how long would it take for a wheel to stop spinning? Surely 5 or 10 minutes... no?
