## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHEN LANDING IN FOR CHIPEWYAN, AB, THE PILOT FOUND BOTH BRAKES FROZEN SOLID AND AFTER SLIDING DOWN THE RUNWAY BOTH TIRES BLEW.CHANGED BOTH TIRES AND HAD TO USE HEAT TO THAW THE BRAKES OUT. WE TRIED POURING GAS LINE DE-ICE OVER THE BRAKES, THIS DID NOT WORK. AFTER WARMING THE BRAKES WE THEN POURED ALCOHOL OVER THE BRAKES. THIS SEEMED TO WORK.
