why is this an airbus issue , no different on any type. seem to recall a few years ago in DXB a 747-200f abort at high speed max weight. all tyres deflated and as park brake set all brakes welded together ! very expensive and a very long AOG as all axles scrap ! at the end of the day all on ground safe , also how many airports have brake cooling facilities available ? Very few , and in a hot brakes situation you would need to cool all at once to avoid deflation. Only reliable method would be brake fans ........
