Overweight Landings
With reference to the thread about a Cathy Pacific engine issue at Heathrow, it mentions "Over weight Landing " and "Runway inspection!". As a PPL, I had never thought that there may be a possibility of runway damage from an over weight landing, but there obviously is. From this, I am making an assumption that runways must have a rated maximum that they can handle presumably in KG/m2. Am I right in this, and can anyone point me at a quick guide (for no other reason than I just want to know).
