indeed,nothing dramatic, just a bit unusual. Big fuzz back in MAD as all Iberia staff was gone, many conexions lost (including mine), over 3 hour delay for a/C change.

Some pax were very anxious though, specially the guy next to me who couldn't believe I was filming... and the flight attendant that said out loud: "this is the first time I see the a/c doing this"...

la gasolina no cae al sulo asi sin mas a una ciudad si no que piden permiso para lanzarlo en una zona donde los daños sean minimos

a esa altura el combustible de volatiza antes de caer a tierra

Posiblemente...

Necesitasen descargar combustible para bajar asta el peso maximo de aterrizaje, que es inferior al peso maximo al despegue.

Si despegaron con el peso maximo, llenos de equipajes y combustible, aun en ausencia de emergencia, no podrian aterrizar si no queman algo de combustible, rebajando el peso asta el maximo peso para el aterrizaje.

Maybe... they needed to dump fuel, to lower the Gross Weight of the aircraft to Maximun Landing Weight, wich is below the Maximun TakeOff Weight.

If the take off on Maximun Take Off Weight, Full of cargo and FUEL, they can't land, even on no emergency, before they burn some fuel loosing weight until the maximun landing weight

@Aviationlover100 a ver si te enteras k eso no es un fallo de motor ni siquiera esta en el motor and que no inventes que eso es la gasolina que se esta soltanto a drede por si no lo sabes la gasolina en casi todos los aviones va en las alas y en este va en ellas

[Aviationlover100]

@saschatoovolador QUE UN FALLO DE MOTOR, ESO ES LA EMERGENCIA

@XxNasser99xX OK, but where does the fuel being dumped go?  You know there is people down there that can have that jet-fuel raining and that is flammable so I don't think 100% that that was fuel being dumped. Think about it, people down in surface and raining fuel...it's flammable.

dude the pilot is just dumping fuel because he has extra fuel and he needs to get a safe landing ._.
