if pax are calm, and no one is hurt, i would hold and land within max landing wt, course I'd check wx, talk to the company and everything, but I wouldnŽt land a 737 or a 320 with 7 tons overwt, at night, out of a non precision approach, JUST to save fuel. Again if thereŽs one good reason to land overwt, eg a pax not feeling well, weather deteriorating really bad, IŽd think about terminating the flight, otherwise IŽd burn off fuel.
