    On the news here they said that they did dump some fuel. Conflicting reports.

    The air traffic controller told them they need to dump the fuel but these planes are not capable of dumping fuel.

    Why the F would a plane not be able to dump fuel? :confused: Talk about faulty design.

    They saved a bunch of money by not including the fuel-dumping ability. They'll just have to burn it off.

    Still in the air. Flying back towards Catalina, burning off more fuel.

    at least he's had a bit of time to get used to the handling and feel of the aircraft,
    and he will know every single thing about the wind direction ..etc.

    The reason the plane doesn't have fuel dump capabilities is because it is a sack of shit A320 airbus that is good for sod all other than crashing at air shows because the computer system overides the pilot if he thinks the pilot is not flying right.

    onestly, whenever I fly, I ask the question is it this plane, if the answer is yes, then I don't fly. They are SHIT.

    That was better than some pilots do on working planes.
