Some earlier models were retro fitted with dumping aids.....I guess newer models come fitted.
737 appears not to be fitted........GSM this afternoon held at EGPH for over an hour before returning to land with severe vibrations........had fuel aboard for GCTS.

Hi all,
I was flying one of the flights that left 23R immediately before the AA aircraft returned to MAN. He had a centre hydraulic system failure, had to gravity extend the gear and said the approach speed would be higher than usual.
Glad to hear everyone was ok.
We got away just in time, home in time to see the rugby!

shortly after departure we had an AICAS warning "LE STAB ASYM".....leading edge stabaliser assymetric!!!
I think you mean LE SLAT ASSY.
If you have STAB assy you are in trouble. The Left and RIght stabilisers are bolted together!

The 767-200 does not have a fuel jettison system, the -300 does and I assume the -400 does as well.
No such message as "LE STAB ASSYM" as far as I'm aware, possibly "LE SLAT ASSYM".
Looking at the photo, the main gear doors appear to be open, implying manual gear extension. This, coupled with a possible flap 20 landing, would imply a loss of the centre hydraulic system.

As has been said by grebllaw123d some 767-300's have fuel jettison capability and some don't.
But we digress....
