Is it true that commercial aircraft intentionally dump toilet waste from their lavatory tanks while in flight?
No. One reference source states that airlines are not allowed to dump lavatory waste tanks mid-flight and pilots have no mechanism to do so, and a second source explains that only grey sink water is drained overboard while black sewage is stored in tanks.
