Flight Crew Rejected Takeoff
Aircraft
At approximately 80 knots 'hot brakes' with associated master caution illuminated. I rejected the takeoff at approximately 85 knots. After clearing the runway we accomplished the rejected takeoff checklist and associated hot brakes checklist. We contacted Dispatch and talked to local maintenance on the radio. We described the situation on the radio; told them the peak brake temp and our location; holding in the pad by the runway. They told us no inspection was required unless the temp exceeded 900.
A320 Captain reported rejecting the takeoff at approximately 85 kts when he received a master caution for hot brakes.
