Thermal equalization and natural cooling
fruit loop,
Interested in hearing more how the carbon is bad for ramp personnel. I understand it is cancerous.
What about the thermal equalization or hot spots if you are at the gate 2 minutes after ?
Isn't it better to let the brakes get to their peak temperature before putting brake fans on?
Before you jump I have read the SOP's written by airbus.
Why not wait ( if you can of course, if the brakes are not too hot and you have enouigh taxi out time ) and turn the brake fans on after pushing back. I like to put them on after starting engines (ramp personnel clear ), if I can. You use the brake fans less and make less noise in environmentally sensitive areas
The carbon that comes out as you turn the brake fans on, it seems to me to come out in the initial area.
Interesting with carbon brakes
