Cargo 360 - Three steel brake Classics in service now with carbon brake -400s to come.

Classics - 30 Flaps, 80% N1 reverse (P&W), and manual brakes applied below 80 knots for 1 hour turns in ANC (without contaminated runways). As someone said earlier, this results in green band temps. Med Autobrakes results in mid-yellow temps. ANC landings are usually at Max LDGWT.
No problems with flap tracks (1988 classics with mods).

Got to smoothly start reducing reverse as you approach 80 to avoid the dreaded "Scrap & Whitney" compressor stalls!

Carbon brakes last longer with autobrake use (one steady application).
