## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED INBOUND INTO MCO DUE TO THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTING A BRAKES HOT ECAM AFTER TAKEOFF. THE FLIGHT CREW ACCOMPLISHED ECAM ACTIONS AND COOLED THE BRAKE TEMPERATURE WITH THE GEAR DOWN THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AT MCO. THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THAT THE #2 BRAKE TEMPERATURE WENT OVER 650 DEGREES ON LANDING AND ARFF REPORTED SMOKE. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE #2 BRAKE ASSEMBLY PER AMM 32-42-27 (AALA202607098731) AND THE BRAKE COOLING FAN PER AMM 32-48-51. (AALA202607097027) A SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH NO ISSUES NOTED.
