But, starting after the first embargo in 1973, the company made it quite clear that landing overweight was the preferred course of action over dumping except perhaps with an engine failure or a missed approach OEI climb gradient issue.
As I said in my previous post, overweight landings were the real world preference. Sim, in my book, is not "i.e. in real life." Never burned up a simulator yet.
Again, two very strange statements;
1) With the 1973 embargo, I assume you are referring to the 1973
oil embargo? Why would any pilot let commercial considerations take priority during a severe technical failure? The whole point of overweight landings is to save
time, not
fuel!
2) Why would you treat a sim session any different than a real life scenario? Isn't the the whole purpose of sim training and checking to
simulate real world scenarios?
