in my PPL training it was drummed in to me the importance of always doing
the w & b calcs with the fuel you were taking and also the zero fuel case.
I posted sometime ago that with the Warriors I flew it was impossible to go
outside the w & b envelope by burning fuel. I have just finished my
transition to the C172 and have extensively investigated different loading
scenarios and found exactly the same thing, at least with this N model I am
flying.
Are there any single engine airplanes out there that really can go outside
the envelope by burning fuel? ( I am only interested in the normal
ategory - not utility). Perhaps the training is just to prepare you for
heavy aircraft?
