Wow this is surprisingly hard work. I thought the way Pprune worked was incident +1hr pictures published. +2 numerous hypotheses put forward as to cause. Then for the following 3 weeks discussion and arguments on minute details.

I have had to refresh this post to keep it on Page 1 of Biz Jets etc.
I can't believe you guys can just leave it at this, and wait for the AAIB report as suggested by that boring git Flintster at post#2.
Let's have loads more pointless conjecture, together with some discussions on how the brake system works on an HS 125, or in fact any other aircraft not actually produced by M. Dassault.
Don't let me down chaps.
Anyone know what the make of the first attending fire-engine was?

Me think it will be a long time before service.
400c will for sure have damaged the heat treatment in the wing of the 6061, which is one of the most common alloys used in a/c. Melting point is around 660c.

In the old days it was called common sense.
These days you have to go on a Human Factors course, and someone has to explain it to you!
That brakes get hotter the more you use them, obviously was not covered on the course.

the report from the authorities is very good IMHO;
Critic is easy; aftermath talk is even easier. The aircraft flies again, and nobody got hurt... case closed.... next please ?
ho yes, the day you will have your plane in an AAIB; just hope to be able to read it...and had worked for a fair employer...

"The salient FDR parameters are presented at Figure 2
and show that in total, eight high-speed taxi runs were
completed over a period of just under 16 minutes. The
first seven runs achieved speeds of between 60 kt and
90 kt".
A 34 page report to get to the cause of a brake fire. Where has simple common sense gone these days? Unbelievable that any professional pilot would not be asking questions after two "RTO's".
