- 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 ?
a)
AFAIK they use water/foam. Fan blowers would increase the risk of a brake fire.
b) Yes, if the boogies get too much heat they must be replaced
