50 tons !!
Dumped due to NLG Down .

2 Pilot crew or 2 Autopilot crew?

Apart from some noise in cockpit,
slower cruise speed (to be offset by dump fuel time)
and small range differance due to NLG (only NLG down),

why not continue to next suitable airport within the range of those 50 tons ?

Do not tell me please , "Safety !!!" ,
or
"Ah we do not have that it in check lists".
