As an example we recently got a memo from flt ops asking to increase the number of F3 landing to reach a target of 90%. The majority of our destinations have MROT procedures and we don’t have brake fans…. Hello BBQd brakes… but that’s what they ask for? No problems we’ll say goodbye to the 25 min turns.
Interesting, we have been asked to do the opposite for brake saving purposes due to worldwide shortage of parts.
