Hi guys-
Recently had a brake fire, from a recent brake lock up after landing and during taxi, on my 6A...
This resulted in the tire, wheel pant and fairing, brake lines at the wheel and possibly the brake assembly burning up fairly good. We are waiting to hear from a mechanic, but anticipating that the cost to fix might be between 3-4K. Trying to figure out the best route, pay out of pocket or file an insurance claim (no deductible). I?m new to all this, so if anyone has any thoughts I?d love the feedback and to hear if anyone has been in this same boat.
Secondary- does anyone have any experience with a brake fire- any salvageable parts? We probably had close to a minute of fire exposure.
Thanks again!
Becca
