Part of the certification process is to demonstrate that the aircraft can land at it's intended MTOGW.

Anyway talk to maintrol and see what they want you to do. Long runway, cost of fuel, overweight landing? It's a non event event.

Done it on long runways a few times on the 727, and the breaks didn't sweat a bit. But then again, the thrust reverse on the 727 is much more effective than on the slugs of today.
