DreamLand.. you said this
I belive you are wrong, this is done to comply with the MEL.
regarding this :
Not all that uncommon. Just cooling the gear before retracting .
Avman is NOT wrong. He merely stated that leaving the gear down tocool the brakes is not uncommon, which it is not, so he is in fact correct is he not !!
How does leaving the gear down to cool brakes 'comply' with MEL??
