The high cost of heavy braking

[pineteam]

On the Airbus, a few things I have learnt from their official documentations:
* Do not ride the brakes. In a straight line let the aircraft accelerate up to 30 kts then one smooth application down to 10kt.
* Minimise the brakes applications as much as possible.
* Know the critical brakes wear temperature. It varies from manufacturer. On The Messier the worst temperature is around 180 degrees celcius.
* After landing consider the last high-speed taxiway to vacate (if no restrictions) to minimise the use of brakes.
* Consider single engine taxi also to minimise the braking.
* Wait at least 5 min after landing to set the brakes fans or entering the gate whichever comes first unless you expect the brakes to exceed 500 degrees.
