Great video. It appears you can see the heat coming off the brakes as soon as they're applied.

Jungle,

Thanks for that video I always enjoy watching max brake energy tests. My favorite was the one they always used to show in ground school. I think it a 707 that had the camera mounted on the gear leg and nit shows the tires flame and pop and sherd in slow motion.

That clip is cool.

This is one of my favorites regarding Max Energy Brake Test. This is an Airbus 340-600. The video has some funny moments.
