G'day kijangnim,

Yeah, I realise the CWT is used before the wing tanks, due to wing bending relief, my point was that even though some the B767s I fly have a fuel dump system with any sort of normal ZFW you still can't dump to below max landing weight.

E.g. ZFW 125.0T Max is 130.6T
Full wing tanks 36.0T
AUW 161.0T
Max Ldg Wt 145.1T

There is no fuel dump capability from the wing tanks.

Regards,
BH.

P.S. One of these days I'm going to leave all the typos uncorrected, it makes for much more interesting reading.
