Plane crazy
I think the pilots are instructed to dump fuel over the sea whenever possible but i am sure they must dump overland as well when the sea isnt within a reasonable distance. Besides i think the fuel evaporates in the air anyway , maybe a pilot could confirm this. regards Cliff - Plane Crazy

I was once on a flight where we had to turn around and head back to the airport, but we didn't have to dump any fuel. Do they only have to do that if it's a larger plane? Would a plane dump fuel if it was over a city?
