Thanks fulminn,

I was sort of expecting the answer to be brake binding or something. I have to ask, what is the pressing issue with cooling duration after a high speed RTO? One may as well assume the fuses will go sooner or later unless the cooling schedule says otherwise - when time allows.

BTW, caution and fuse plug melting becomes an issue with Carbon brakes at slightly lower energy levels than steel.

I'm thinking that when stationary, setting the parking brake would seem a pretty sensible and risk averse action. It is SOP at our place too.
