## Discrepancy

WHILE AT ATL, MAINTENANCE WAS TAXIING THE AIRCRAFT TO A HANGAR, THE RIGHT MAIN BRAKE OVERHEATED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE.  THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATIONS IN THE FLIGHT DECK.  ATL MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE RIGHT MAIN INBOARD AND OUTBOARD BRAKE ASSEMBLIES, TIRE ASSEMBLIES, BRAKE TRANSMITTERS AND TEMP BULBS.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED FOR FIRE DAMAGE, NONE FOUND.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR FURTHER SERVICE.  (M)
