[I learned in limitations maybe day one or two in school bout brake energy..maybe beechjet doesnt have that problem/QUOTE]

You guys who come here and spout off about what everbody else is doing wrong. Then make elementary comments like this to show everyone how smart you is getting old. One day you may make a mistake, i'm sure you wouldn't want a FI dork posting what he thinks happened. Bottom line is you could have asked the very same question without giving away details. But posting tails numbers and locations really shows your class.

I've never heard of anyone trying to burn off fuel by doing high speed taxis. The best way is to set the brake, bring the power up, including the APU if available, and leave it there.

If airborne, go to 10,000 and set the power as high as possible.

I don't think that brake burns normally take five runs either.
 
A thread on FI about an incident is not that big a blow to confidentiality. Not many read this except pilots. I would think the actual plane on the actual runway shutting down the actual airport where there are actual people with cameras would be worse.

At least here the guys who fly the things can get a lesson learned from it all.

So...what is this brake burn off thing and hows it relate to carbon and steel brakes?

I am no mechanic but have done several brake burns for mx in 500 series Citations, King Air's and light singles. Newly installed steel brakes require a burn in to remove a coating and fit the pad and disk, so I hear. Mx has a checklist for the flightcrew and it dictates how many high speed taxi/brake applications are required. New carbon-fiber brakes do not require this procedure but I do not know the specifics of why.
 
it only relates to someone coming on here and trying start another flame thread. Obviously someone who got the rejection letter from netjets. sad, really sad.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aircraft with carbon-fiber brakes do not require brake burns therefore the X doesn't require them but a Beechjet or any jet with steel brakes would.

I think he was talking about the high speed taxi the X is well known for.
 
Burn in's on the Citation 500's and II's require 3 accelerations and stops from a specific speed based on the part number of the pads. I usually do all three accel and stops on one pass down the runway. Takes about 3 minutes to do it all.

I seem to recall in our C-II we had to accomplish three stops from 35kts.
 
u got a rejection letter too i see......

it's not saying something negative, it making a obvious attack with no infomation.

So everyone that doesn't think NJ is the place to be got a rejection letter?? It never appealed to me and I never applied. It's for some, but not for everyone.

No matter what the reason, blowing your mains on high-speed taxis should never happen, if you're careful of course.
 
gents i did this on another thread, everybody take a breath, this is FI, not worth raising your blood pressure, and by the way,Merry Christmas.
 
I could not agree more with you. The biggest problem I see is that there are some here that feel any question raised regarding NJA is an attack on NJA. You would think that with their large numbers and the amount of flying that they do on a day in and day out basis, that this type of information could be used to educate people. Instead, if you ask why something happens, you are attacking them.

Instead of thinking everyone is "been rejected" by NJA, take it as an opportunity to educate those who don't understand what may have happened to cause such a situation. I like several on here have never heard of a brake burn before, so it is interesting to hear what the educated have to say about it.

As far as the crew meals comment, I am sure this individual is referring to the sheer number of NJA pilots you come across in FBO's across the country on a daily basis enjoying their meals. Was it a shot at NJA, absolutely, but who cares, you guys have the best crew meals of any of the fractionals. That is probably sheer jealousy.

Now it is time for my ham and turkey sandwich.

do we know if it was pilots or MX?

I would be surprised if pilots would be that stupid.

If you need to burn gas you could just set the parking brake in the run up area.

or are we just doing the Flight info dumb*ss speculation scenario?
