runway Perf ( the never ending story)
The original queston was - if you would be bothered to look - about an overweight landing it did not imply, or suggest or even infer that this was an EO situation - which you have brought into the . . . conversation - as you are probably bored or something.
Obviously _ (sigh)_ the runway perf and all the rest of it would have been decided - yey, before departure, as this was, the Dep Alternate.a 8200ft would not pose much of a threat, in these conditions - GENERALLY SPEAKING FOR THE SAKE OF THIS POST. - assuming runway perf - runway sfc conditions/wv/WAT/MSA and a lot more besides to determine LDR, (or in fact whether the approach is safe and do-able bearing in mind, the resultant condition of the aircraft there will not be much of a problem in the A320. We took of with a perfect aircraft - this was not a tech failure, nor 1 eng out situation and SD would have been reviewed and taken into account - had that been the case. The decision or the option to return (or not to return) to the departure runway all with any EO / SID and or emergency turn would have all been taken into consideration. Also, the crew would have been breathing in, then breathing out again - but I did not mention that part, nor other aspects of the (rather short) flight as I naturally assumed you were all au fait with the SOPs. In short - Mr.Yo-Yo.
You are simply now exending an argument for the sake of extending the argument. Had one not have considered the landing in this way then one would not have made it out of flight school, obviously, silly, never mind onto a flightdeck.
