Highest BTMS on CRJ?

[viper548]

What's the highest you've gotten the BTMS up to and what's the highest you've seen on the CRJ?
I've only gotten it up to 5 and had a capt get one up to 6 on a long taxi.

 

[FORESTGUMP]

8's & 9's....forgot to arm the TR's on a short runway...and of course the FO was a little high and hot....when it rains, it pours.

6 while taxiing? Shouldn't ever get past 3 unless you're riding the brakes.

 

[Drill Sgt. Dad]

Got a 7 once, hot day in August

 

[Soverytired]

20, but I'm pretty sure it was busted . . . .


(especially when it poped on at FL350)

 

[propsarebest]

Imagine that, the BTMS busted. Who woulda thunk it?...

 

[joesmiley]

double digits across the board. Floated into SBP. Coulda roasted you choice of mystery meat on a stick they were so hot.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

I've seen 7 on the brakes in the summertime after a long taxi. No problem.

 

[J32driver]

8's all the way accross. The FO started applied very light braking starting at about 130kts and kept the light braking all the way to taxi speed. The 8's were displayed before we turned off the runway.

Long, light, braking....BAD!

 

[wmuflyguy]

7-8's after a RTO about 110kias....it was raining out so that kept them cool

My favorite is when after a landing roll, you've got something like 6,6,1,2. Hmmm, proper crosswind technique, much?

 

[B.T.Justice]

12 across the board....Single Engine Approach on the 47 card.

 

[SkyWstman]

13, flaps up landing.

I'm not nearly that bad, but I do notice that I often seem to get higher readings on the left side than on the right, regardless of wind direction.

I'm left footed so I guess I favor that side on the landing roll without realizing it.

Oh, and to answer the original question, I think I might have seen a 7 on one of my landings and I saw some 9's on someone else's the first time they landed at APF.

 

[Shocker]

I think I got a 14 once...oh wait.

 

[CF34-3B1]

We used to use the BTMS to decide who bought the first round at the overnight. High score wins.

Your an Idiot, allmighty Captain.

Thats normal. Downwind brakes get hotter due to the tendency for the airplane to weathervane into the wind during the landing rollout. Nothing to do with crosswind technique. Just natural application of more downwind brake.

at least I know the difference between "your" & "You're"

Almighty and allmighty.

Yeah, understood. It just seems a bit much when one side has gone white and the other side is still at 1...

 

[CRJ's suck]

I got six, on a single engine taxi while stuck behind an American 777. I swear the guy was taxiing at .001mph.

an AA capt. taxiing slowly?!?!?! say it ain't so....

That's why they have the 3 lanes at the end of the runways at DFW, so other airlines that can handle taxiing at a fast walk pace can pass

Yup, that'll do it...

You are correct in that if the upwind wing is allowed to rise, there will be less weight on those brakes, and hence the higher temps on the downwind side. I really ought to have given you more credit there...

 

[Dumb Pilot]

One technique that I show new Captains is that when one of the sides is heating up unevenly on relation to the other, is to equalize by applying brakes only in the cool side during taxi and counter with your heel (only) on the hot side rudder to steer the thing. Also, try not to ride the things continuously, but ratter apply the brakes in bursts during the taxi. The temperature rising during taxi is more of a problem when you are light since the thing wants to accelerate quite a bit on the ground, I counter this by taxiing single engine on the way in after landing if you are very light.

Niiiiice! Point Gump!

Speaking of BTMS.

Does anyone else hate it when CAs get on the brakes right after you land? Who's leg is it again? Some of us don't want to snap the pax neck (or our own for that matter) to make the next taxiway. Really it’s not that big of a deal, just let it roll.

I like this one too: Float halfway down the runway trying to get the greaser, and then slam on the brakes. Seriously, WTF?

My first real greaser landing in the 200, the Capt totally slammed on the brakes as soon as the mains hit. If I fly with him again, when the mains hit, I'm going to say "your plane" and cross my arms and ankles. Not even crack the reversers. "Oh, I though you had it."
