LEM, you could be one minute below quick turn time, a long taxi and subsequent high speed RTO near brake engery, and fuse plug melt temperatures could result in increased stopping distances and or tyre deflation. You are operating in an area that was not tested and is as far as I know not required by any agency, can you imagine the complexity of the charts, or the restrictive nature of those charts.

I appricate there is much fat built into the quick turn and brake cooling schedules which are regulatory requirements for (fuse plug) no melt requirements, however I do not believe the issue is quite (period) as you said, I am talking about a highly unlikely combination of events, however!

If you have access to a document which contridicts what I have said could you please direct me, the information I have is from a type specific perf engineers course at Boeing, could be that maybe I misunderstood, it was quite some time ago.

Many thanks
