Not really. When the plane only has 600 pounds useful load, and you
weigh nearly 300, there isn't much left over for the instructor and fuel.

You're describing a Cessna 150. We had one instructor and student who
weighed enough together that they could only put a bit less than half

That's why I trained in a Warrior. The useful load was closer to 850 lbs.

Alright. Talk. Don't make me reach over there and pull your still-pumping
heart out from the gaping hole you used to call a chest whilst breaking
your sternum and playing air guitar with your ribcage. -- Tai
