Brake Temperature

[ottawa]

Hello;

On the ECAM brake page (Airbus) you have three levels of brake temperature. Green, amber and red. Could you please tell me the actual brake temperature these warnings refer to?

Thank you.

Hi,
The green arc appears over the hottest wheel when one brake temp exceeds 100C.
The amber indication, and master caution appears at 300C.
Not exactly sure when the red appears, but think it's either 600 or 900C.
Cheers.
