Hey Plastic

I was relaying what I have seen.

I agree with what the manual states. I was not trying to scare anyone as the thermal plugs wait for quite a while before letting go, the tech crew will probably be doing their duty free shopping at the time the heat soak from the un cooled brake does the damage.
I have also seen an RTO with 300 pax on board at 80 odd knots and temps reached 420. No drama

If there are some A330 pilots out there whom are willing to give the MAX setting a go, I will gladly be proven wrong.
