777 wheel temps on hot days
Just curious if the Middle East guys have particular issues on the really hot days. I have to say that at 35 degrees and below, I haven't seen any issues.

Have been flying it for 5 years in the M.E......have never had a problem with tires and or brakes, and we are often at MTOGW, on very hot days. The one exception I can think of is going to Cairo, depending on ry can have a 3 mile taxi to gate and all downhill, so constantly on brakes.

On short turn rounds it was always a struggle to get brake cooling achieved to remove the FCOM limitation - especially during the summer when the demand for cooling trucks was at its highest. That was just one less thing to worry about if it is a Boeing.
