Anything of interest heard on Live ATC? I can't connect. Too busy.
Mostly routine, along with a few questions to ATC about how much longer until 292 tries to land and everybody can get back to their regularly scheduled lives. Sounds like airport ops are continuing normally until they're ready to land. |

Another bit of info is that there are about 140 passengers aboard. Poor
passengers, had to ride for about 3 hrs, must be so stressful. |

Aha. Thanks so much! It never hit me that dumping fuel would be related to a climb requirement. Can you explain to a layperson how the climb requirement factors into whether it is necessary to have a fuel dump function? Couldn't quite understand the rule. |

Can you explain to a layperson how the climb requirement factors into whether it is necessary to have a fuel dump function? Couldn't quite understand the rule. Sure. If the aircraft loses an engine immediately following takeoff, it still needs to meet minimum climb performance standards so it can clear whatever obstacles it may encounter near the the airport. It is conceivable that if an airplane (particularly a twin engine aircraft) loses an engine, it may need to reduce weight to meet climb standards. Dumping fuel is the easiest way to quickly reduce weight... |

Yay!
Beautiful job of holding off the gear as long as possible. The fire was a surprise, although it shouldn't have been. MSNBC had a pilot on, who'd had the same problem on a different airplane, and his also skidded down the runway, but he didn't mention flames. Some mention of the fact that the pilot pretty much kept the airliner on the centerline... which of course probably doesn't please LAX's runway maintenance guy grin, who might have to repaint it. |
