American Jumbo Jet Forced to Make Emergency Landing at DFW
During the American Airline flight 963 the Boeing 777 was forced to make an emergency landing after their right engine had supposibly caught on fire. The FAA has said that the landing gear may have also caught on fire, but there is no proof yet. (www.kens5.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
EPA clearance to dump fuel?!?! It was an emergency. The authority of the flight crew reigns superior to any law/regulation not only of the FAA but any other agency or gov't entity. On that note, I'm sure the EPA doesn't like dumps...but it's all relative to safety.
Heavy or not, did AA have EPA clearance to dump fuel ??
Thanks, Richard
Stand Corrected, was not aware it changed in 2010 to 300,000, and yes MTOW
thanks for info

Thank You Richard
In April 2010, FAA revised the definition to conform to the ICAO definition, 140000 kg or 300000 lb MTOW. And yes, ATC treats 757s as heavies, even though by weight it falls into the "Large" category.
Boys, I got a question here: Now, Richard gives the FAA official designation, but twice, from David & Robert, ya'll say 255,000 lbs. Curious, where is that coming from and I am assuming ya'll are talking MTOW
