Hi Sensible
12feb02 F-WWCA A340-642 360 Airbus Industrie
Suffered heavy undercariage damage damage during max landing weight test at Istres airbase, France. Aircraft was loaded to 370 tons while it will be certified for max landing at 254 tons.
If the MLW is 254 tons then I would guess the MTOW would not be 116 tons higher ... did you mean to say 270 tons? Or was the a/c deliberately overloaded for the test? If 370 tons is the correct number, do you know why they went with such a high weight?

I find it interesting is all ...

Cheers,

ABX
