Thanks for your comments.

On the Airbus side, information is minimal :
If tire damage is suspected after RTO, inspection of the tires is required before taxi. (some restrictions apply depending the number of damaged tires)
IMO Airbus should provide something more substantial on the subject. A chapter in the Abnormal Operation of the FCTM would be the right place.

Other questions :
  • What kind of equipment use the firefighters to cool down the brakes ? Are they simple fan blowers ? What is the procedure for the firefighters after a RTO ?
  • Also, I’ve been told that some RTO can even require a landing gear replacement depending on the level of heat accumulated in the landing gear body … Any comment ?
