An A300 Flight Crew landed at MMMX at a weight requiring flaps 15/20 for landing. They reported hot brakes during taxi in. During post flight inspection tires 7 and 8 are discovered going flat.
We were dispatched to MMMX with an estimated landing weight of 315.9. Upon arrival in Mexico City we did a flaps 15/20 landing due to our aircraft weight of 315.5 being above the flaps 30/40 landing climb limit weight of 307.9. The approach was fully briefed and we were fully configured and at approach speed prior to the turn to final. The approach met the stabilized approach criteria and we landed in the touchdown zone with MED auto brakes selected. The Captain took the aircraft at approximately seventy knots and applied firm manual braking to turn off at Bravo intersection. The brake fans were immediately selected on. The right side temperatures climbed to approximately 625 and the left side to the high 400's. The taxi speed was kept under five knots and only left brake pressure was applied. Upon block in the parking brake was not set and manual left pressure was applied until the chock in signal was received. Before leaving the aircraft; an inspection was made of the right gear and wheels seven and eight were observed going flat. Maintenance was notified and a logbook entry was made.
We touched down in the touchdown zone with MED auto brakes selected. I took the airplane at seventy knots and applied firm manual braking to make the Bravo turnoff at the end of Runway 05R. The brake fans were immediately selected on. The right side temperatures climbed to 625 degrees and the left side temperatures climbed to the high 400s. The taxi speed was kept under five knots and only left brake pressure was applied when needed. Upon block in the parking brake was not set and manual left brake pressure was applied until the chock in signal was received. Before leaving the aircraft an inspection was made of the right gear and wheels seven and eight were observed going flat. Maintenance was notified and a logbook entry was made.
