B777 single engine overweight landing question.
Saw something in a sim the other day that got me thinking and would like others thoughts on it.
Scenario was a simple engine failure in cruise at a weight of about 300 tons. One crew member wanted to dump fuel to landing weight, one wanted to land at current weight to save fuel and environmental damage. Runway was long enough to theoretically allow landing without blowing the tires (but barely) and aircraft was WAT capable of single engine go around.
So while I was siding with the more conservative course of action, are there any certification or technical issues with an overweight single engine landing?
Thanks, Cropduster.
