I wasn't sure if he was talking about on the way in or out!

Here is the SOP for the way in:

Check brake temperature on the ECAM WHEEL page for discrepancies and high temperature.
Brake fans should be used to manage brake temperatures, ideally brake fan
selection should be delayed for around 5 minutes (to allow thermal stablisation) or done just before stopping on the gate (to prevent blowing carbon brake dust on ground personnel), whichever occurs first.
When turnaround times are short, or brake temperatures are likely to exceed
300°C, use the brake fans, disregarding possible oxidation phenomenon. Refer to FCOM PRO-SUP-32 for the brake temperature limitations requiring maintenance actions.
