Yes. The aircraft is designed with a Maximum Takeoff Gross Weight and a Minimum Landing Weight. Therefore, if a large airliner has an emergency and must return to the airport, such as one engine quites, then they have to dump fuel before they can SAFELY land. Some aircraft have to circle the airport to burn off fuel. However, sometimes this is done in order to give the flight crew time to solve the problem. This is usually true if they have a landing gear problem and want to try to get the gear to come down. Yes and no. As the foregoing answer points out, manufacturers have maximum landing weight specifications for their aircraft, and under normal and most emergency situations, the flight crews need to reduce the aircraft weight so as not to exceed these weights. On the other hand, some situations require getting the aircraft on the ground as soon as possible, and in these cases, any airplane can be landed at any weight...assuming there is enough runway. In these cases, a report of the overweight landing must be made and "overweight landing inspections" must be completed prior to flying the airplane again.

Why are some airplanes referred to as heavy during communication?

Does weight affect the paper airplane?
If it is too heavy, it will drop down. If it is too light, It is vulnerable to the slightest gust of wind. It is best to make it in-between(the average weight of a paper airplane)
How does a tilt rotor land?
As a helicopter. The blades on the V-22 Osprey are much too long for it to land as a conventional airplane would.
What causes landslides to happen?
The land (when elevated)becomes too heavy and collapses.
Does the material of a paper airplane matter?
The material of a paper airplane matters. If it is too flimsy, the plane will not be able to keep its shape and will become just another piece of paper thrown in the air. If it is too heavy for its size, it will just fall down and not fly.
What might an aircraft designer today think of the idea of using a steam engine to power an airplane?

Sentence using land to land?

Is a nitro rc airplane a gas airplane ?

Why does the space shuttle have wings and a tail like an airplane?
So that it can land like an airplane
What is a sentence for airplane?
