Well, the 707 is a pre-historic aircraft, and wheel fusible plug melting energy levels are usually not exceeded during a landing. The 500-series Citation is considerably less prehistoric than the 707, but brake energy is a serious consideration. During checkrides, we had to sit for a good 15 minutes or so (consulting the brake energy chart for the exact time) after a full stop landing before we could take off again. The company learned the hard way on that one, one time doing a full stop followed by an abort and then melting the fusible plug. It's not difficult to imagine getting into similar trouble in real life operations. -- Larry Fransson Seattle, WA
