June 18, 200916 yr Need some help here - just had a midair problem and had to land at nearest airport but was overweight... well the plane, not me lol.I put the weight required in the Init page of the fmc and had dump time of 0005 - so pressed the dump switch and left on for 5 mins to reduce the fuel.What I want to know is, is this the right proceedure? as I had Dump valve disagree in the ecam.I read the fsc has no control over dumping but am I doing it right? Can't find the proceedure in the manuals.John Ellison

This limit is higher than the amount of fuel you may have left at landing for a normal flight. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
