Well, I certainly wouldnt have cleared a distressed aircraft to the gate...I would have sent an Alert 3 and roll them to the end of the runway.

"I would have sent an Alert 3 and roll them to the end of the runway."

Why? Because there was an indicator light on in the cockpit?

The aircraft flew normally to it's destination, do you really think the pilots weren't doing everything they could to determine if there was a problem other than a faulty sensor?

On approach, the landing gear came down and locked, the flight controls worked normally keeping them on course for the runway, upon touch down the reversers and brakes worked normally and they were able to steer and brake multiple times on their trip to the gate where the brakes worked yet again.

There is absolutely nothing in that report that tells me that the real time analysis of the crew was faulty.

I'm sure that as soon as the brakes failed, removing all question about an actual fault they would have agreed with you.
