It's a [I]Catch 22[I] situation, you have hot brakes and require some cooling air to be applied ASAP to avoid tire deflation. But if nobody can go near the tires for an hour then they will possibly deflate. It's something the Airbus needs to address. Why cannot airconditioning tubes be extended by a long handles so ground personnel can remain well clear?
It will have to be VERY long handles. If a tire inflated to approximately 200psi pops I wouldn't want to be on the same parking stand, never mind 3 or 4 meters away. The damage that tire can do... lets not go there, it's nasty!
