I once had the gear to drop in a climb due to ECAM "BRAKES HOT" on A320.
The plane was full seated but only about 8 tons of fuel. We barely could maintain FL240 with CLB thrust and green dot speed. Very noisy and vibrating, all FA and most of the pax noticed it!
Even my 20 yr old deaf dog would have noticed something isn't right with AI 676.
