@lonardoslovato I have no idea what you said there, but you're wrong - this most certainly isn't caused by condensation. FYI this has nothing to do with sunlight.
@MrFireworksguy Before touchdown, planes must be at or below their maximum landing weight which is considerably lower than their maximum takeoff weight. If an aircraft has to make an emergency landing before it has used up enough fuel to get below its maximum landing weight, which I think is the case here, it MUST dump fuel to avoid the risk of the lainding gear collapsing on touchdown.
@MrFireworksguy 99% of the time the aircraft lands safely with payload and 10% remaining fuel (~300 tons) so the landing gear is only designed to take ~300tons, NOT the max take off weight of 500tons. (to save weight). Hence you need to dump fuel or you'll break the landing gear and the runway.
Germany never gave up the fight for world control. With the US stuck in Afghanistan and Irak wasting its wealth making new enemies, Germany made a large leap forward. Having lost two open wars to become the dominating power on earth, Germany reverted to the tactics used before 1914 and between1918-1939: Infiltrating other countries with snitchers, manipulating them and draw as much wealth as possible from these victims of German greed.

@presstrigga the pilot doesnt dump ALL the fuel lol. You only dump an amount untill the plane reaches its ideal (within a range) landing weight as the fuel that is onboard was intended for the whole flight and u have an emergency somewhere in the middle.
in this case, who pay the damage for the airline company? the passenger assurance? and what happen if the passenger doesnt have the assurance? he/she must pays for the fuel, the delayed and other cost? can someone can reply? thx in advanced and thx so much for the video

I am done replying to you.
People... let's not comment if we do not know what we are talking about....
First- every jet I have flown has a max take-off weight that is HIGHER than the max landing weight.
So- if my max t/o weight is 500,000 pounds, and mx landing is 300,000 pounds (hypothetical weights)- and I take-off weighing 500k, have an emergency and need to land when I weigh 400k, I must dump 100k in fuel in order to land and not collapse gear, bend something, CRASH, etc. NOT A WASTE WHEN U THINK ABOUT IT!
If you think about it a bit better, then you would have thought:
Hmm, why do they take so much fuel with them, if they know they won't use it all and if they know they will otherwise crash, get damaged or otherwise endangered?
CounterAnswer A: No, they did not have to stay higher longer than calculated longer than expected and long enough to need to dump that much fuel.)
CounterAnswer B: Fuel dumps indeed disperse before reaching the sea, but that means it is in the air. Think...
@Yezpahr I really meant to say evaporate. I stand behind the knowledge I have acquired while earning my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in organic chemistry.
@Yezpahr ok, you are arguing with a professional pilot here who has been doing this a looong time!
so you stop and think and ask yourself::: :"do I really think I know more about this than people who do it professionally for a living?"
So here we go--- get on the bus son, it is time to go to school!
So why did they take so much fuel with them? TO MAKE IT TO THE DESTINATION! "plane" and simple! They dumped because of a problem, so they were not GOING to their final destination!
A MEDICAL EMERGENCY **IS** an EMERGENCY worthy of an EMERGENCY LANDING--- thus worthy of DUMPING FUEL if my current weight is ABOVE my max-landing weight...
You sir do not know as much as you think. You are a troll who goes on here trying to pick fights-- and you are a retard.
I showed fear? If it wasnt for me and my people, you would be speaking GERMAN! GFY son.
like I said-- you do not know what you are talking about... a "medical" will not cause a captain of a 777 to dump fuel and make an unscheduled landing...
a "MEDICAL EMERGENCY" will however.
Be glad for americans... without us, YOU WOULD BE SPEAKING GERMAN-- and you would be speaking german in ALL CAPS!! See ya buttchuck!
But NOOOO you had to add germany SOMEHOW to the equation...
This proofs you don't know anything either and are just trying to make a clean exit.
How did you go from "fueldump" to "germany"?!
But you are just trying to shush me up, that's why your blurting about germany and your own capslock... to take away the attention to what really matters.
Oh well. Instead of insulting you, I just need to watch how you insult yourself.
@0m1nous you're completely right but just saying this for the sake of other people reading these posts for smaller aircraft, fuel dump systems are not necessary due to MTOW and MLW being very similar
@ToInfinity1 there is no need to be a pilot to know that, if you play flight simulator and you take it seriously with payware add ons, you will learn something :)
@juanfacu80 thats true but most payware (except just flight so far) dont simulate fuel dumping also fire suppression equipment, so unless u read the manual which says "fuel dump switch (Not Simulated)" there would be a fair chance that u wouldnt know about it.
so is taking off overweight. maybe if they were coming from japan and they were over alaska they probably would of gone below overweight when they were flying over russia or somthing. i dont know
This makes me wonder if any psychotic individual has ever faked something like this. Some people get sick pleasure from attention and this is quite alot of things happening to cater to the comfort of one person. Who knows, there are all kinds of wierdos out there.
Because it is not deemed safe for an aircraft to land with more than a certain amount of fuel on board. Damage to the aircraft on landing may occur due to excessive weight or a fire hazard.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I translated the Japanese. It said "ladies and gentlemen, please place your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye"...then she said, in Japanese...."all your base are belong to us".
oh no they will if they have to, only with aircraft or passenger emergencys and the plane is too heavy to fly or land and they will dump it. trust me my dad is a 777 pilot for Air Canada
so i'm no expert on fuel falling from 30,000 feet. but wouldn't something called gravity bring it to the ground? that much (although spread out over a distance) can't be good for the earth, wildlife, or even humans it happens to land on? or does it just disappear somewhere between the air and the ground? haha
It drops the fuel because it has to make an unplanned landing due to some passenger being ill (read description!). Since at this time of the flight the amount of fuel is too much to make a landing (there is a maximum landing weight for each airplane), it has to be dropped. During a normal flight enough fuel is burned to get the weight below the maximum landing weight.
So dropping fuel is only necessary when the flight has to be aborted unexpectedly.
An aircraft has to dump fuel because it would be too heavy for a premature landing. A lot of people don't know this but a large percentage of the wing is used to hold fuel. If the plane were to land with those wings full of fuel, the landing gears would snap off. So.. the plane dumps fuel and leaves just enough to get to the nearest airport (and land safely). BTW, most of the fuel evaporates in the air.
Dumping is sometimes necessary and it is kind of a waste but also consider the pollution created and the energy consumed in the manufacturing of the plane itself its very small by comparison. Aluminum has to be refined and forged, titanium has to be made into fan blades, plastics for the interior have to be refined from oil, the landing gear are forged steel, wiring, etc.
they should develope planes that catch the fuel. they do airial refueling in the millitary why not defueling also? the same planes that do refueling should do the oposite too
well it can be rather common, when ever a plane has to make an emergency landing with a lot of fuel onboard, the airplane cant land without stress on ther aircraft, theres a lot of fuel dump videos on youtube, all for some sort of emergency it dose pollute the air, but i dont think its really that bad, compaired to other things still a lot of pollution tho
the plane is diverting to a close airport because of an emergency, and it has too much fuel on board, making it too heavy for landing. the plane has to dump the fuel so it is below the maximum weight for landing.
There is a certain limit to which planes can withstand regarding weight when hitting the runway. If the plane is heavy, say just after take off, then it will be dangerous to land as it could cause the tyres to burst or damage the landing gear.
This is why they are dumping - in order to land for the emergency.
It is possible to land on an almost full plane but it's extremely dangerous and only usually happens in a hijacking situation, where the pilot has no time to dump.
I've flown AA 10 times in the past two years to Tokyo NRT and they do actually have some Japanese flight attendants, so that is not strange, and they also have Japanese speaking American flight attendants. So it's not weird or strange.
Well it's definitely not good, which is why planes seldom dump fuel and only do so if absolutely necessary. Only the biggest of jets even have fuel jettison systems, because their maximum take off weights are much higher than their maximum landing weights.
i guess this was quite a long flight , so the maximum TO weight was way higher than max landing weight , so they had to dump fuel to get to maximum landing weight , got it ?
I bet is more like a couple of $10,000 down the drain, if you calculate full expense not just fuel. Although fuel alone probably cost like $10,000+ Jet-A is more expensive.
What are you talking about? Who said anything about an airline keeping gas money? I was addressing kimkimhim's comment that human life is priceless. I don't agree. At some point there comes a time when it is simply too costly (monetarily or otherwise) to save a human life.
The purpose of fuel dumping is to reduce aircraft weight during landing.this also possible when an aircraft is about to crash to avoid big explosion when crash and thus reduce passenger casualities.
Yes, it would. If you're flying, for example, from DFW to NRT, ANC is not even half-way. The tanks held enough fuel to fly to NRT, and to avoid an overweight landing at ANC, the pilots dumped. Easy. Think about it.

so i'm no expert on fuel falling from 30,000 feet. but wouldn't something called gravity bring it to the ground? that much (although spread out over a distance) can't be good for the earth, wildlife, or even humans it happens to land on? or does it just disappear somewhere between the air and the ground? haha

It evaporates very quickly. It does not rain down onto the ground from 30,000 feet. It's long gone before it could ever reach the earth.

why doest it drop the fuel?
SOMeONE explain??
10Kingboy10 2 years ago
It drops the fuel because it has to make an unplanned landing due to some passenger being ill (read description!). Since at this time of the flight the amount of fuel is too much to make a landing (there is a maximum landing weight for each airplane), it has to be dropped. During a normal flight enough fuel is burned to get the weight below the maximum landing weight.
So dropping fuel is only necessary when the flight has to be aborted unexpectedly.

An aircraft has to dump fuel because it would be too heavy for a premature landing. A lot of people don't know this but a large percentage of the wing is used to hold fuel. If the plane were to land with those wings full of fuel, the landing gears would snap off. So.. the plane dumps fuel and leaves just enough to get to the nearest airport (and land safely). BTW, most of the fuel evaporates in the air.

zenloki2007 2 years ago
Dumping is sometimes necessary and it is kind of a waste but also consider the pollution created and the energy consumed in the manufacturing of the plane itself its very small by comparison. Aluminum has to be refined and forged, titanium has to be made into fan blades, plastics for the interior have to be refined from oil, the landing gear are forged steel, wiring, etc.

they should develope planes that catch the fuel. they do airial refueling in the millitary why not defueling also? the same planes that do refueling should do the oposite too

EvOluTiOn91 2 years ago
i can't tell if that is liquid or a gas and why is it doing this??
superkryp13 2 years ago
the reason is in the video description, medical emergency there dumping fuel so the landing is lighter, less stress on the airframe
boomer757 2 years ago
so does it pollute the air how often do planes do this?
superkryp13 2 years ago
well it can be rather common, when ever a plane has to make an emergency landing with a lot of fuel onboard, the airplane cant land without stress on ther aircraft, theres a lot of fuel dump videos on youtube, all for some sort of emergency it dose pollute the air, but i dont think its really that bad, compaired to other things still a lot of pollution tho
boomer757 2 years ago
okay thanks Jack:)
superkryp13 2 years ago
im putting this in simplified terms
the plane is diverting to a close airport because of an emergency, and it has too much fuel on board, making it too heavy for landing. the plane has to dump the fuel so it is below the maximum weight for landing.

Thurmanmerman525 2 years ago
Thurmanmerman52,
There is a certain limit to which planes can withstand regarding weight when hitting the runway. If the plane is heavy, say just after take off, then it will be dangerous to land as it could cause the tyres to burst or damage the landing gear.
This is why they are dumping - in order to land for the emergency.
It is possible to land on an almost full plane but it's extremely dangerous and only usually happens in a hijacking situation, where the pilot has no time to dump.

I've flown AA 10 times in the past two years to Tokyo NRT and they do actually have some Japanese flight attendants, so that is not strange, and they also have Japanese speaking American flight attendants. So it's not weird or strange.

isn't that bad for the atmosphere
xplanecopilot 2 years ago
Well it's definitely not good, which is why planes seldom dump fuel and only do so if absolutely necessary. Only the biggest of jets even have fuel jettison systems, because their maximum take off weights are much higher than their maximum landing weights.
Doctors2Advocate 2 years ago
i guess this was quite a long flight , so the maximum TO weight was way higher than max landing weight , so they had to dump fuel to get to maximum landing weight , got it ?

Xemur 2 years ago 5
I bet is more like a couple of $10,000 down the drain, if you calculate full expense not just fuel. Although fuel alone probably cost like $10,000+ Jet-A is more expensive.

What are you talking about? Who said anything about an airline keeping gas money? I was addressing kimkimhim's comment that human life is priceless. I don't agree. At some point there comes a time when it is simply too costly (monetarily or otherwise) to save a human life.

debs353 2 years ago 5
The purpose of fuel dumping is to reduce aircraft weight during landing.this also possible when an aircraft is about to crash to avoid big explosion when crash and thus reduce passenger casualities.

M4rtinnn 2 years ago
Yes, but maybe they had to land in another airport fpr a reason
tilirandle 2 years ago 2
Yes, it would. If you're flying, for example, from DFW to NRT, ANC is not even half-way. The tanks held enough fuel to fly to NRT, and to avoid an overweight landing at ANC, the pilots dumped. Easy. Think about it.
