TY BEagle, duly amended.
May be you can remind me, and everyone else, about brake checks. After a hot landing a crew member was often sent outside to do a hot brakes and tyre check. One problem having stopped with hot brakes was their potential for cooking. If the aircraft was instead kept taxiing without further braking they could actually cool more quickly (correct?).
Anyway, went sent out to do the check we had to approach the wheels with caution as there was a potential for explosion. Now I cannot remember near 40 years later whether we were to approach fore-aft in case the wheel blew out or port/starboard in case the tyre blew out.
So, which was it?
