Pilot question - 787 Overweight landing implications?
Just completed my regular simulator check which included severe damage to the engine (loud bang, no N2, high vibration) and the instructor suggested that we should hold for an additional hour to jettison fuel rather than land as soon as the engine and associated securing checks had been completed (after about 20 mins).
I have no idea whether there are more significant consequences to a composite aircraft landing overweight than say an A330...our checklist just uses the standard Boeing phrase...."land at nearest suitable airport"
Interested on your views of this balance of risks / consequences?
Thanks in advance
