Thanks to all for the prompt reply.

Denti, I have downloaded the Doc. you sent. Thank you much. It is a good one.

About the brakes, and crosswind, I would do the same you said, the problem is that Boeing says in the B744 QHR Man. 1.3 (April 1, 2008)

REJECTED TAKEOFF
Consider the following:
- wind direction in case of fire
- not setting parking brake unless passenger evacuation is necessary.

So, Boeing wants me to consider turning a B744 in the middle of a 60, or worse, 45m RWY for to avoid wind blowing a fire towards the fuselage. The distance from the engines to the fuselage is considerable for an eng. fire flame to reach it. As I can't ask Boeing why, I ask the world best pliots in PPrune.

I am curious about what Airbus A340/380 (eqv to B744) dictates.

Please, don`t stop, let's have more opinions and comments

Thanks again
