Fuel Saving Landings

Hi,

The mention of fuel saving landings came up awhile back and it would be good to have some additional information on how, when's and why's this procedure was used.

As I understand it a fuel saving landing was one over the normal maximum landing weight, as such did additional inspections or anything have to take place on the airframe?

Any information on his procedure would be very much appreciated as I have only ever seen the term mentioned never the reasons behind it.

Many thanks for such a rivetting thread.

Regards,

Steve.
