Brake cooling doesn’t seem like a big issue, until there is an overheating incident. And the charts in the AFM are notoriously difficult to use and interpret. AFMatic puts an end to that! Determining brake cooling requirements is now a simple matter of making a few inputs and clicking Compute! And if you are travelling to an unimproved airport, pavement considerations are easily computed.
AFMatic can provide an estimate of the brake cooling requirements based on the brake cooling appendix to the AFM and can compute the required cooling time between two brake applications. Here is the top of the inputs:
