Landing overweight and jettisoning fuel are both considered safe procedures. unnecessary but also can increase jettison time and crew workload.

An airplane doing an overweight landing may exit the runway due to reduced braking performance due to its weight. In addition, it is not recommended to perform overweight landing with autopilot on some aircraft (e.g. Boeing). Boeing's autopilot is not certified for overweight landing.
That doesn't make it a good idea, which is why pilots are trained to do weight and balance plus performance calculations before every flight. Besides the safety angle, taking off over gross weight could land you in trouble with the FAA even if nothing goes wrong, you can lose your ticket for that.
Additionally, Ryanair planes tend to have smaller wingspans than other aircrafts which can lead them into more turbulent air during descent and cause harder landings.
While some passengers prefer window seats, aisle seats are often better for overweight passengers that are only purchasing one seat. Window seats are often the better option if you purchase an additional seat.
If you can buckle your seatbelts, you guys should be able to fly without any issue. If the seatbelts don't fit, you should contact whichever airlines you're considering and confirm whether or not they will offer a seatbelt extender.
Even though there are no weight limits for fat passengers, there are normally three basic requirements for flying while overweight: Passengers must be able to sit with both armrests down. Passengers must be able to buckle their seatbelts. The aisle must not be blocked by a passenger.
In general, obese passengers on airlines who require a seatbelt extender and/or cannot lower the armrests between seats are asked to pay for a second seat on their flight, unless there are two empty seats together somewhere on the plane. Special size passengers have little to no choice when it comes to this rule.
You should be fine. You could try and google the largest seat in your class category and try to book it. You will be fine, you probably won't even need an extender on your belt. A size 22 won't have difficulty fitting in a airline seat, and doing up the seat belt.
I am a bigger person, size 24-26-28. Will I fit in an airplane seat? You will probably need to buy two coach seats and ask for a seatbelt extender (or to have yours). Remember, two coach seats are generally much cheaper and more spacious than a single first class seat.
How fat is too fat to fly? Even though there are no weight limits for fat passengers, there are normally three basic requirements for flying while overweight: Passengers must be able to sit with both armrests down. Passengers must be able to buckle their seatbelts.
? If your seatbelt does up but is still tight, consider asking for an extender. It's so much better to feel comfortable when you're flying, especially if you've got a long journey ahead of you. The extra little bit of room can make all the distance.
Answer by Tom Farrier, Retired US Air Force command pilot; Current aviation safety contractor for the government, on Quora: Landing is generally considered quite a bit more hazardous (and requires a bit more exacting handling) than taking off, but both takeoffs and landings can have their challenges.
The most common reason for an aborted approach or landing is insufficient visibility due to rain, snow, fog, or low clouds. Here are some other reasons (my experience): The airplane was not stabilized at 1,000 feet above the runway.
