porch monkey what you said is helpful indeed but I was really asking about the correct procedure there, a little confusing part between SOP and QRH. After an RTO and setting parking brakes to assess the situation (which is recommended by SOP), then after completing NNC and evacuation is not required..would you also *hold* and check the brake cooling schedule on the runway so you wont release the brakes and vacate and then apply it again? or you just vacate and *stop the aircraft* then check the brake cooling schedule?
