A330 Fuel Dump at Santos Long blog

A330 Fuel Dump. The primary purpose of fuel dumping (technically known as fuel jettison) is to rapidly reduce the aircraft's weight to meet the maximum. Fuel dump may be initiated by the pilot to lighten the aircraft when performance is compromised due to failure of one or more engines whilst in flight. Dumping fuel is necessary for larger planes like the boeing 747 to prevent overstressing the airframe during an emergency landing. The fuel is dispersed from the aircraft to evaporate into the atmosphere, and dumping occurs over designated areas to avoid harm. A fuel dumping system may be required on these aircraft to allow fuel to be jettisoned in flight to avoid structural damage caused by landing the aircraft. Checking youtube videos and various photos of a330s, i see that most don't have that fuel dump pipe sticking off the aft wing like an a340. Numerous operating weights available dependent on customer spec & type but typical.
