Jim,
I certainly can't argue with that assertion. I was only referencing medical
issues.
I suspect that there is not an older Grob 103 that does not fly overgross
with two people
onboard.

I'm also not saying that glider (or any) pilots are angels, but to
arbitrarily limit your
ability to fly based on false assumption does not enhance your enjoyment of
flight.
I may be in the minority here, I fly because I enjoy it -no, I love it.
Perhaps I can find a news group called "The joy of flying".

You state that you know of many who abuse this authority. I know no one
who
does.
Which of us is closer to reality?

OK, how about max gross weight and seat limits? Just hang around my
gliderport
for three hours during any Saturday or Sunday when we have flight
instruction
and you will routinely see people exceeding the max gross capacity of the
aircraft. Their solution is to rip out the placards that showed the
carrying
capacity.

You're lucky if you fly at a place where PICs don't abuse their authority.
