Anyone know how many pax? Could then work out roughly how heavy they were and how much dumping would have been needed to get below MLW.

Out of interest, did they shut the engine down or leave it running at lower thrust setting that was surge and stall free?

An approach speed of 157 (Vref 152) is only just above MLW for F20. Doesn’t seem right if they had 95T of fuel - they must have been empty for that to tie up.
