Narrative:
On takeoff rotation center hydraulic air demand pump failed. Normal takeoff but slightly longer gear retraction. Climbed out and departed terminal area. Ran irregular checklist and found pump to be inoperative in both automatic and on position. Contacted maintenance and dispatch. Recycled pump circuit breaker per maintenance; no help. Captain made decision to return to ZZZ for maintenance. Dumped 10000 pounds of fuel at FL300; and requested full length of runway. WX was VFR. Landed 17000 pounds over maximum landing weight. Landing was smooth with normal turn off and normal brake temperatures. Landing was at a weight lower than performance limit weight (360000 pounds with air demand pump inoperative); and runway limit weight (420000 pounds). Returned to gate.

Title: B767-300 SUFFERS LOSS OF CENTER AIR DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMP ON TKOF.
Narrative: ON TKOF ROTATION CTR HYD AIR DEMAND PUMP FAILED. NORMAL TKOF BUT SLIGHTLY LONGER GEAR RETRACTION. CLBED OUT AND DEPARTED TERMINAL AREA. RAN IRREGULAR CHKLIST AND FOUND PUMP TO BE INOP IN BOTH AUTO AND ON POS. CONTACTED MAINT AND DISPATCH. RECYCLED PUMP CIRCUIT BREAKER PER MAINT; NO HELP. CAPT MADE DECISION TO RETURN TO ZZZ FOR MAINT. DUMPED 10000 LBS OF FUEL AT FL300; AND REQUESTED FULL LENGTH OF RWY. WX WAS VFR. LANDED 17000 LBS OVER MAX LNDG WT. LNDG WAS SMOOTH WITH NORMAL TURN OFF AND NORMAL BRAKE TEMPS. LNDG WAS AT A WT LOWER THAN PERFORMANCE LIMIT WT (360000 LBS WITH AIR DEMAND PUMP INOP); AND RWY LIMIT WT (420000 LBS). RETURNED TO GATE.
