A320 Pilot here, this is a procedure we use when we have one of the 4 brakes inoperative. We can still dispatch with that inoperative system but have to leave the gear down for 1 minute after takeoff because that one wheel won't be braked when retracting the gear. We want the wheel to stop spinning before entering the gear bay. Hope that helps
No, I flew further to Heraklion with the same aircraft. The next day I flew Heraklion-Karpathos on a SkyExpress A320. And then onwards to Amsterdam on a Icelandair B757-200 operating for TUI Netherlands
Probably an indication of hot brakes. I once was on a flight and we suddenly stopped climb about 7000ft and the gear was lowered because the brakes were hot.
Hot brakes? How? The aircraft just had a overnight stop in Brussels. It was a very short taxi to the runway and no heavy breaking was done during this.
