too fast landing and heavy brakes. Over temped the right main brake set. That over temped the right main strut assembly (the strut itself is equipped with over temp monitors).
Mr. Tony Williams, just curious as to what aircraft that was. This also brings an interesting question that someone may have the answer.

I was taught that you can push as hard as you like on the brake pedals and the anti skid will prevent tire and brake damage. Was the anti-skid inop and this caused the problem?

Is maximum tire speed based on tire blowing out because of overheating brakes or due to runway surface friction or combination of both?

Thanks for any reply.
