Default Braking in new breaks

Both Rapco and Kelly Aerospace have break-in procedures on their websites.


If they are hydraulically operated disk brakes what reason could there
be for a break in? Even highly polished disks will roughen within a
day or two from moisture in the air and the pads should seat fully on
the disks with no special effort even if the disks are grooved.

to
brake them in?
