Aircraft (airliners) types that do not dump fuel?
Can anybody tell me which of the major types of airliners cannot dump any fuel? Had an A310 the other day and pilot stated that he could not dump fuel. I believe the B767 as well? I know the B747 can, but what about others like the IL76/86/124/225 or the MD9o etc? B707/727/737/757/777? A320/330/340/380? If you know of any types that cannot dump fuel, would appreciate if you can let me know. I would assume that all, if not most very heavy types would be able to dump fuel to reduce weights below Max landing weight.
Thanks

Probably not the answer that you wanted.... but here it is anyway.
Sec. 25.1001 Fuel jettisoning system.
(a) A fuel jettisoning system must be installed on each airplane unless it
is shown that the airplane meets the climb requirements of Secs. 25.119 and
25.121(d) at maximum takeoff weight, less the actual or computed weight of
fuel necessary for a 15-minute flight comprised of a takeoff, go-around, and
landing at the airport of departure with the airplane configuration, speed,
power, and thrust the same as that used in meeting the applicable takeoff,
approach, and landing climb performance requirements of this part.

Dozy Bell:
A320 can't but its max landing weight is the same as its max take off weight
Total rubbish old chap: A320 Max T/O=73500KG
Max Ldg=64500KG. Thats nine tons (3 hours) of fuel to burn until you can land without an overweight landing check.

Of the jets that I have flown:
B733 cannot
BA146 cannot
WW24 (Westwind) can
..Oh yeah, and I flew a Cherokee six once that could dump the tip tanks, but that was because the fiberglass had perished
