re from captain87
Oh yes,
I was refferring to the A320 Family,
I have only a general knowledge of the 767 ...
I do not absolutely put in discussion the existence of the overweight checklists on 767 ... but I'd like to make one question:
Why the 767 is certified to perform an overweight landing and the A320 do not ?
... I think it's purely a question of manufacturers ... Boeing agrees and Airbus disagree etc ...
It's normal that one (FAA or EASA certified) aircraft have to be able to land in every condition, but there is no necessity to say: Aircraft not certified to accomplish an overweight landing ... as the flight manuals state ...
This depends from the situations, it is obvious that if it is possible, the fuel dumping have to be accomplished by the flight crew ...
Question of good sense ...
Regard !
