Delaying Landing to Dump Fuel

Begging Danny's indulgence:

The 1998 SR111 Accident Report from TSB Canada shows how little time may be available in case of fire.

In this case, the report shows that the fire was progressing too rapidly to make a landing at an available airport. Since then the emphasis has been to get it on the ground ASAP whatever the weight.
