## Discrepancy

ON A TAXI RUN FROM ONE HANGAR TO ANOTHER, A DISTANCE OF APPROX ONE MILE, WITH 2 INTERMEDIATE STOPS ENROUTE, ON ARRIVAL AND SHUTDOWN AT THE DESTINATION HANGAR, FLAMES WERE NOTED COMING FROM A RT WHEEL BRAKE.  APPLICATION OF THE CONTENTS OF 2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WAS REQUIRED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES.  TIME INVOLVED WAS APPROX 2 MINUTES UNTIL THE FLAMES WERE CONTAINED. THE THERMAL RELIEF VALVES IN THE WHEEL HAD ACTIVATED BY THIS TIME. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND 11 DEGREES C.
