"Vinayak" "You guys should pick up the FCOM rather than giving distorted opinions.

The brake fans are NOT to be used whenever the arc comes... Where do you guys come up with this rubbish?! "

You mean we should read our manuals which state the following:

During taxi out, if an arc indication appears above the brake temperature on the ECAM WHEEL page set the brake fans on.

The maximum certified brake temperature prior totake-off is 300°C. In
circumstances when brake temperatures approach this limitation, the
recommended procedure is to use brake fans to reduce the temperature to 150°C.
