THE END?

Why Max weight can be ignored:
The requirement for a fuel dump system is dependant on the STRUCTURAL capability of the specific aircraft. A manufacturer will certify an aircraft at a certain MAX LANDING WEIGHT. However, if the aircraft STRUCTURE can withstand a landing with FULL FUEL, no fuel dump is required. Even aircraft with a fuel dump system will often have an allowed landing weight higher than the certified landing weight.
The certified landing weight has to do with flap pressures, runway length requirements, go-around capabilities, and CG limits. (there are others)

MAX Allowed landing weight may in some cases be the same as MAX Take OFF weight. This is what you use for emergencies.

A couple of times, I landed the 777 over max landng certified weight because weather, runway and fuel conservation were considered acceptable.

Whenever a captain lands above CERTIFIED landing weight, a special maintenance check is required. IF the landing is SMOOTH, it is a minimal check. If the landing is firm or hard, it is a very long and intensive maintenance event taking many hours of manpower.
