Natstrackalpha: A good invention - except the fans blow air over the sensors which give a lower, cooler indication on the flightdeck. so for hot brakes - temp could be a lot higher.
Actually, Airbus give two different values for max temp depending on whether or not you have fans. I'm sure NitWit is just wetting himself to tell us the number (I know it nitty, so get it right).

I learned this trade on aircraft with no brake fans, and no brake temp gauges.
How did we ever survive before wunderkinds like nitty came along to teach us how to fly.
BTW, Did those QF Sky Gods taxi through the puddles? Tsk Tsk. Flying should stop in heavy rain!
