Narrative:
I landed in ZZZ on runway 18L (8500 ft) with a light breeze from the west. My weight was 281000 pounds (approach speed 141 KTS) and I used #3 on autobrakes. Approach, touchdown and rollout appeared normal. I retarded the thrust levers to idle on touchdown, and lowered the nosewheel to the runway then selected reverse thrust. I noticed a definite increase in deceleration which I attributed to the higher autobrake selection and reverse thrust. Nothing seemed out of the normal range. I turned off about 2000 ft from the end and applied the brakes a little more heavily to do so. As we taxied in the brake temperature light illuminated. I thought it was a false indication but brake temperature indicators showed hot brakes on the left truck. Maintenance applied cool air but 2 tires deflated as fuse plugs blew. I think it was due to a malfunction in the autobrake system as there is a history of hot brakes on this aircraft. I retraced the landing event and discussed it with the first officer and neither noted any error on my part. However, I could have done some things better, such as putting the nosewheel on the runway more quickly and selecting reverse thrust sooner. I could have used more reverse thrust and rolled to the end of the runway instead of turning off early.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A B767 ON LNDG ROLLOUT WITH AUTOBRAKES AT 3 EXPERIENCED L BRAKE HIGH TEMP WARNING. NO RPT ON DIRECTIONAL CTL PROB.
Narrative: I LANDED IN ZZZ ON RWY 18L (8500 FT) WITH A LIGHT BREEZE FROM THE W. MY WT WAS 281000 LBS (APCH SPD 141 KTS) AND I USED #3 ON AUTOBRAKES. APCH, TOUCHDOWN AND ROLLOUT APPEARED NORMAL. I RETARDED THE THRUST LEVERS TO IDLE ON TOUCHDOWN, AND LOWERED THE NOSEWHEEL TO THE RWY THEN SELECTED REVERSE THRUST. I NOTICED A DEFINITE INCREASE IN DECELERATION WHICH I ATTRIBUTED TO THE HIGHER AUTOBRAKE SELECTION AND REVERSE THRUST. NOTHING SEEMED OUT OF THE NORMAL RANGE. I TURNED OFF ABOUT 2000 FT FROM THE END AND APPLIED THE BRAKES A LITTLE MORE HEAVILY TO DO SO. AS WE TAXIED IN THE BRAKE TEMP LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FALSE INDICATION BUT BRAKE TEMP INDICATORS SHOWED HOT BRAKES ON THE L TRUCK. MAINT APPLIED COOL AIR BUT 2 TIRES DEFLATED AS FUSE PLUGS BLEW. I THINK IT WAS DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE AUTOBRAKE SYS AS THERE IS A HISTORY OF HOT BRAKES ON THIS ACFT. I RETRACED THE LNDG EVENT AND DISCUSSED IT WITH THE FO AND NEITHER NOTED ANY ERROR ON MY PART. HOWEVER, I COULD HAVE DONE SOME THINGS BETTER, SUCH AS PUTTING THE NOSEWHEEL ON THE RWY MORE QUICKLY AND SELECTING REVERSE THRUST SOONER. I COULD HAVE USED MORE REVERSE THRUST AND ROLLED TO THE END OF THE RWY INSTEAD OF TURNING OFF EARLY.
