AA 1586 from LAX to Toronto blew a tire on take off. Currently circling
LAX to burn fuel and will attempt emergency landing at LAX.
Landed safely at 12:52 local LAX time.
I'm wondering what the rule id for burning off fuel. On my flight from ORD
to IAH last Friday, we took off, and the landing gear jammed. We just
circled around and landed again. We were in the air for a total of about 45
minutes.
A blown tire may be different then landing gear which won't retract in
terms of landing weight, stability, and odds of catastrophic failure.
The big thing though, is that even under ideal circumstances, maximum
take-off weight is likely higher then the maximum landing weight, so the
difference in weight must be handled. Since passengers would complain
if they and their cargo were unloaded before landing, fuel is the
easiest solution.
