Dear All,

Thanks for all the replies.

I saw this Airbus brief on smartcockpit.com regarding use of brakes and let me quote:

Select brake fans

1. Atleast 5 min after the temp check to

Allow thermal equalization and stabilization
Avoid oxidation of brake surface hot spots

2. Just before stopping at the gate, to:

Prevent carbon dust from being blown over ground personnel


Can someone now explain this??????
