I may be wrong here, but the only reason (from my non-pilot POV) to have a need to dump fuel is if the Max TakeOff Weight is higher than the Max Landing Weight. Any problems that demand a landing while the GW is above MLW should result in fuel being dumped prior to landing. I think I

Ok, so the question is :Will the Level-D Sim B767 have a dump fuel system ? Thanks !

Read the manual dude.It's says not yet implented, but they plan to make it servicable in the future.

isn't it in the manual? I'm quite sure i saw "not modelled yet" written somewhere. Luca

Nope it wont :-(Alex

Yes, it will have fuel dump capability. The draft manual is outdated in this respect.Also related, the APU will burn fuel and the scavenge pumps will draw remaining fuel from the center tank to the wing tanks after all useable fuel in the center tank is exhausted.These features will be included in the initial release, not an update.Wade

Thanks for the answers ! I really can't wait to fly this bird.A matter of weeks ? Let's hope that means less than one week...JP

That's a lovely surprise!!!!! :)Thanks Wade and I realy need the B767.BTW. The scavange pumps operate auto. doesn't it???I'm only familiar with the B742 scavange pumps, so that's why I asking.Thanks again,

good job you guys if you have all of these systems running then i might have to hire a Co-Pilot, speaking of that i like to fly with somebody if i can find people that live in the hampton roads area south of Virginia. plus i hope you guys can do the same thing with the 757 and make it this beautiful.Love You Guys For Bringing Me My Bird.

Hi guys, Even though equipped in the real world with fuel dumpers many airline SOPs restrict the use of them, one airline for example is Air Canada. I have their SOP and even talked to an Air Canada 767 pilot who told me even if they lose an engine or are too heavy they can still land when over their maximum landing weight, and that for such an instance they would use full flaps but they are not allowed to dump fuel. Seems logical its environmentally and economically reasonable.

Tord, in principle 'in an emergency => **** the ICAO rules'in practise => every component which makes up the 767(in particular the landing gear) has its maximum 'stress' factors. Max landing weight is there to ensure a good margin to those limits is maintained. Therefore I personally would NEVER land an airplane overweight UNLESS it's the only option we've got.(f.e. unrecoverable flameout on all engines)The only option you should consider unless see above, is to dump fuel, or to hold over your departure/departure alternate/enroute alternate untill your weight has been reduced enough to perform a 'MLW' landing. So your point of view is correct, dumping fuel is only used in such a situation AND it IS 'allowed' to land a plane over max landing weight IF you are in an 'emergency' but that is the ONLY possible way. I can guarantee you, these days, aircraft are equipped with enough equipment meaning, every move you make in the cockpit is 'registered' so a captain making an overweight landing WILL be punished for it as this IS endangering the safety of all POB's. again, as you said it IS possible(since the MLW hold a substantial margin to the actual structural limit) but it's ONLY allowed in emergencies.(basically in an emergency you can pretty much do anything required to get the airplane down safely, emergencies overrule alot)Cheerz from a pilot-in-study ;-)(and yes, we just saw this one in class)

Oh boy!!!These guys are the greatest. They answer questions here and there about features, and release an outdated manual to whet our appetites even more...and then they keep leaving us little easter eggs in the forums...THANKS LDS TEAM!!!CAN't WAIT!!

this 767 is so well detailed and modeled that unless you hold a license or work on them you will never find all the features lolGary HayesLevel-D Simulations Development TeamNo im not a "real" pilot, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.P4 3.0ghz w/HT & FSB..GeForce FX 5900 ultra 256MB..1 gig PC3200 DDR RAM..Sound Blaster Audigy w/5.1 THX

I know that some 767 have the ability to dump fuel and some don't i recently flew to Morocco on a 767 that belonged to Royal Air Maroc, and the wings were equiped to dump feul. my question is will this version have that ability or no and if somebody can clearify the issue with dumping fuel on the 767 why some have it and some don't.Thanks.

Oh, did I mention that during fuel dump if the busses are isolated load shedding occurs. So, for example, your landing lights, wing inspection lights and tail logo lights will go out.Yes, the scavenge pumps are automatic.Wade
