Outsider, then please clarify why they tell engineers lies and explain the real reason so we also know. As far as I know the automatic dump system in e.g. a B777 will only dump till max landing weight not max go-around or something.
And on some a/c it's indeed an option, because the max landing weight is the same as max takeoff weight. Which means the gear is strong enough to take the weight.
