Aircraft; Procedure
We were cleared into position for takeoff. The power application and the beginning of the takeoff roll were normal. At 80 knots on my airspeed indicator I noticed that my IOE student did not make the call '80 Knots Thrust Set.' I made the call and he replied I have no airspeed. I initiated a rejected takeoff. I believe we were between 85 and 95 Knots. We had plenty of runway remaining and were not going very fast. I then kicked the autobrakes off and let the airplane roll. We informed ATC of a reject and then we cleared the runway. We then stopped and called Maintenance to the cockpit. He said it was not fixable and then he said we need to get back to the ramp as soon as possible. With the long taxi and the rejected takeoff I was concerned about the brake temps. We brought up the status page and the Brake Temps were showing ZERO. I decide to taxi back. I was expecting the temps to start rising and they never did. At this point I figure that the Brake Temperature Management System (BTMS) is failed. When we got back to the ramp I asked the third First Officer (FO) to do a post flight walk around. I told him to stay clear of the wheels; as they may be hot. I also instructed the ground crew that we might have hot brakes. When FO returned he informed me that while he was doing his walk around the right landing gear had a tire that had fused. The technician informed me that the BTMS system was not hooked up. I wrote it up. I told him that I had to write it up; because it wasn't placarded as not working. I made some of my decisions based on the fact that I assumed we had a working BTMS. Let us know if we have a system that is not working on the aircraft.
B767-300 Captain reported that a Rejected Takeoff was performed between 85-95 knots due to failure of the First Officer's airspeed indicator. The Brake Temp Monitoring System was found to be inop on return to the gate.
