BRAKE TEMPERATURE LIMITATION

PNF

limitation: 300°C auto ignition temperature of the hydraulic fluid

Without brake fan: Rely on HOT BRAKE ECAM caution (triggered at 300°C) With brake fans running: The fans blow on the temperature sensor, and modifies the indication Actual Brake temperature : 300° C

Indication on ECAM : 150° C

The crew cannot rely on the ECAM caution (linked to indicated value). Brake temperature must be checked If indicated value is above 150°C: delay takeoff
