Very true. Especially on long distance/heavy fuel load flights. Design max take-off weights are far higher than landing weights. I once dumped 60,000 lbs. of jet fuel (B-747) over the North Atlantic when a malfunction forced us to return to Amsterdam and land. Had to get down to max landing weight.
