: Air India is probing a “hot brake” warning which its Kuwait-Goa flight got while cruising at 35,000 feet, where the temperature is way below freezing point. On getting this warning, the pilot descended 10,000 feet and flew at the lower altitude to reportedly cool the landing gear before ascending to the higher altitude.
Later routine monitoring of the flight’s data recorder confirmed what was reported by the pilot. “We have called the pilot and just want to see how an issue like could be handled in a better way,” said the official.
