## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT RETURNED OF FLIGHT DUE TO DURING CLIMB, THE CENTRAL TANK FUEL PUMP FAILED AND THE BACK PUMP BREAKER THREW OUT. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL DEFERRED THE REPORT IAW MEL 28-2 CAT C. AT GDL MAINTENANCE BASE, TECHNICAL PERSONNEL REPLACED THE AFT CENTRAL FUEL BOOST PUMP IAW MM 28-20-07, ALL CORRECT. THE OVERWEIGHT INSPECTION WAS NOT NECESSARY DUE TO THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH 26,000 POUNDS AND THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LANDING WEIGHT IS 139,500 POUNDS.
