Nice Video, but I don't understand why the FO (I presume) kept reiterating that they will need a visual inspection of the breaks, it should just be a normal landing, roll all the way to the end if needed, they had full priority.


No inspections of breakes necessary, no different (in terms of hot breaks) to that of normal landing being carried out.


I can only assume they were under pressure and perhaps were not thinking 100%


anyway any landing you walk away from.


Also for me that was a bit too much talking in the video, remember the phrase aviate, Navigate, communicate ?


They are a Mayday, they have full priority they can do what they like. no need to waste your energy talking about what radials you are flying just say we are going to this waypoint to hold, end of! when ready and NN checklist complete advise them you are coming in to land.


Only time a visual inspection of the breaks is necessary is if you carry out an RTO, or for some reason you have used a high break setting, but in this case its a normal landing, if not slightly over weight.
