Which we also knew as mx guys, nitpicker330! But the pilots were not that reluctant to go, so we could not do any more than delay the flight and wait for them to cool. Caused us some problems afterwards, because the bosses would like to know why the aircraft returned to stand, and was again ready to fly after an hour without doing any mx...

And I've seen several times an A320 letting the gear down till they are at about 3000ft. Pilots told me this is for cooling the gear, what should it be for according to you then?
