re da captain87

For A320 the MLW is 61.000 Kg (134.480 lbs) ... with the following attenuating:

"In exceptional cases (in flight turn back or diversion), an immediate landing at weight above maximum landing weight is permitted, provided the pilots follows the overweight landing procedure"

But I'd like to remind that I have said that the overweight landing is always not recommended, and I haven't said that it's impossible ...

... Airbus write in the procedures to consider the use of the overweight checklists in extreme situations only !
