re from captain87

I think that an overweight landing is severely dangerous in every sitation on every aircraft ... A pilot can perfectly read on the FCOM (Flight Crew Operations Manual) that the fuel dumping is always recommended until a normal landing weight has been established.
I have studied for A320 type-rating (oral only): for the A319/A320/A321 you can find written on FCOM that the overweight landing is inhibited ... but I personally believe that it cannot be performed on other aircrafts otherwise.
If the a/c manufacturers has fixed the limits, this means that their cannot be ovveriden ...
Regards !!!
