Interesting. So if you take off at max TOW, get an engine failure at rotation, your company tells you to hold on one engine while dumping fuel down to max landing weight?
I don’t fly the 777 so how much holding time will this take?
I’m not sure your local CAA/FAA will agree wih your company.
Or did I read you wrong? You would dump as much fuel as possible and land at whatever weight you end up with on your way to your diversion field? Which is what I imagine most pilots would do.
