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?
Someone told you bull****. Who invents crap like that? I have flown 767s that do not have fuel dumping capability (it is a customer option), and the MLW is 40 tons lower than MTOW.
