Going for my Multiengine rating
There are some airplanes that are easy to load outside the
flight envelope. Many multiengine airplanes are designed to
carry passengers and baggage. With only the front seats
occupied, some ballast in the rear can be essential.
You should read some FAR 23 on flight control forces
allowed.
I have a few thousand hours teaching in multiengine aircraft
and just flying charter and delivery, from Piper Aztecs,
Beech Duchess and Barons, Dukes, King Ai r 90, 200 and 300.
Jet time is in the Beechjet 400, trust me, your life can
depend on your being able to push and pull the controls to
the limit with one leg or one hand.
