Hi guys

I would like to find out, why for some aircraft a fuel dump system is necessary. According to regulations, an aircraft must have a fuel dump system if it is unable to comply with certain climb requirements, or so, I do not know the exact definition.

But here is the question... The aircraft must be able to take-off safely with one engine inop at MTOW, then how is it possible that it cannot conduct a go-around at weight which is always less than MTOW without dumping fuel?

Maybe I do not understand it correctly, please explain it to me

Thanks much for help
