On a short flight with full tanks it can be difficult if not impossible to burn off sufficient weight to achieve the maximum allowed landing
weight. Still having too much fuel on board (i.e. being too heavy) is probably the biggest single cause of sinking too fast and crashing on
landing in MSFS, as the autopilot/autothrottle doesn't seem to deal too well with that situation.
Reference fuel management, I believe the old Airbus A320 on the Amiga used to mark you down for carrying too much fuel, as I have read
did (does) ATP.
