Jettison Myths
I know a lot of this got discussed a few years ago, but I have found a great many people still perpetuating these ideas in training, when it comes to fuel jettison:-
Myth 1:- Don't jettison in a hold while descending.
Does anyone have any reference that this might actually be a problem? That, in a standard holding pattern, you might "Catch your fuel", or that it would be a problem if you did?
Myth 2:- Don't jettison near a Thunder Storm.
Well, it's a good idea to not get TOO close to active CBs at any time, but is there actually any learned material that suggests it is any MORE hazardous while dumping fuel?
I'm sure this will generate opinions, but really, I'd be more interested any hard data that supports or debunks either concept.
