Airbus Max Landing Weight... or not ?
In my Airbus manual it says that in "exceptional circumstances", providing the overweight landing checklist is actioned then you can land overweight.
My question is, if you are turning back to your maintenance base due to a technical problem which is operationally not a major threat (not a mayday or an urgent situation) then can you just land overweight without dumping fuel because it saves time and money ?? Does anyone know Airbus's definition of "exceptional"
Inputs much appreciated.
