many thanks
You mentioned landing overweight. I am pretty sure most company Ops manuals will have direction on this, and other non normal situations. These manuals are approved by the authorities, so just stick with that.
This worrying about legal action when doing pilot sh@t is a very Australian thing. Not sure it's a very healthy thing.
