If the A/P becomes inoperative...
If just after takeoff for a long night transatlantic flight you realize that the A/P is inoperative and after all troubleshooting your single option is to fly the airplane manually what would you do (or what your company recommends)?
1- Make a fuel dump (in this case more than 50,000 kg) and return to the departure field for repair?
2- Fly the airplane to the destination... 11 hours ahead?
3- Other options...
