I was always told that if the Max Landing weight is less than or equal to the Max Takeoff Weight a Fuel Dump system is not required. But if the MLW is less than MTOW then a Fuel Dump system is required. This guy had to burn off 3 hours of gas to get to landing weight. That's a BIG difference. Why is there no Fuel Dump system on the 320?
I don't want to second guess this guy (but that is what we do here), but if I just lost 2 of 3 hydraulic systems, I would get that thing on the ground. But I'm a Boeing guy, we can do that. Can you land the Bus overweight?
25R in Vegas is 14,500 feet long.
