Air Canada 767 Problems at Madrid
Sky News have just reported that an Air Canada 767 is preparing to make an emergency landing back at Madrid, after parts of the landing gear fell off and was ingested by an engine.
The flight is this one - https://www.flightradar24.com/ACA837/23be1953
It appears to be burning fuel at the moment, but certainly quite a situation developing there.

An overweight landing could obviously be a major problem if there has already been some landing gear/ tire damage.
The flight continues in a hold at low altitude and 340 kts about a hundred miles southwest of MAD.

Delta had one of these B-767 takeoff incidents at Barajas with significant damage to the hydraulics a few years ago:

Flight Aware shows ACA837 holding at 7,600 feet ASL, groundspeed on outbound leg (southeast heading) of hold around 270 kts, on inbound leg (northwest heading) as high as 303 kts. The variation(s) are most likely due to winds.

The chap said something about being told of a blown tyre. Here's some footage he's posted. His twitter is worth keeping an eye on as he seems to be continuing to tweet video from on board;
Here's a view from the ground of the fighter with the 767.

Holding at 340 knots
Didn't know if the gear was down, I assume it wasn't retracted after rotation, so my assumption is that the gear limit speed is 270 knots or m 0.82.

A330, fuel dump system is an option
It has to do with the route network, flying mostly short sectors, no dump sys....
