Krystal - not sure if you are having a pop at me or not. Yes I am a Licensed Engineer. Where I work, the approved documents allow me to check brake wear with the brakes hot or cold, only the pin protrusion length differs. This will depend on whether we are doing a daily or a transit check, and that is on 3 widebody types we operate. If you are only permitted to check the wear with the brakes cold, I'm surprised anything flies from your station. PM me if you wish and I'll elucidate further . . . Terry
