Question Some questions about high-speed R/TO
I have flown B737 for a coup of years. Most R/TOs that I've ever learnt so far in our company were all initiated at low speed. And most of them turned out to be false alarms, like "speed disagree" indication, "door" annunciation, etc. During our SIM training, we stick with the QRH. But none of us got real ideas what will happen after a high speed R/TO. The QRH says the wheel fuse plugs will melt. But what damage could these melting plugs bring to gear structure? If those plugs melt, can we still taxi? And why we can't set the parking brake unless passenger evacuation is necessary? Is it to prevent some potential fire hazard? I would really like to hear some real stories from members of this community and get my puzzles sorted out. Big thanks !
