What was found

AFTER LANDING AT KHND (ON-SPEED, WITH AN APPROXIMATE TAILWIND 5 KNOTS), PF REPORTED THAT HE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE HEAVILY BUT GOT A MEDIOCRE BRAKING ACTION. AT 65 KNOTS, TOOK OVER CONTROLS AND NOTICED THE SAME ACTION. (SPEED BRAKES AND THRUST REVERSERS WERE IN THEIR NORMAL POSITIONS FOR AFTER TOUCHDOWN.) AFTER WE PARKED I CHECKED BOTH MAIN LANDING GEAR FOR HYDRAULIC LEAKS AND THERE WERE NONE, BUT THERE WAS LIGHT SMOKE COMING FROM ONE OR BOTH BRAKE ASSEMBLIES ON THE THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR.
