fuel dumping
Usage examples
  • Fuel dumping, or fuel jettisoning, is an emergency measure. It is not part of regular flight operations and is only used in exceptional or emergency situations. It becomes necessary when a wide-body aircraft encounters a problem that requires the immediate return to the airport shortly after it has taken off with the maximum certificated take-off mass (MTOM). With its MTOM, the aircraft is unable to land because it is too heavy. The only way of reducing the weight is by jettisoning fuel.
fuel jettisoning
Usage examples
  • Fuel jettisoning is permitted to an extent consistent with reaching the aerodrome with satisfactory fuel reserves, if a safe procedure is used.
Good to know
  • Fuel is said to be jettisoned when it is dumped from the aircraft fuel tanks to lower the weight of the aircraft to a weight approved for landing.
