Default Minimum Pilot Weight in a Pilatus B-4

I was close to the limit at 155#. Definitely agree with the advice
to check the W&B. Adding a chute will help.

Does anyone know the minimum payload weight for a Pilatus?

The max gross
is given in the manual, but there seems to be nothing for how

light someone
can be before adding ballast.

The minimum weight in the pilot's seat should be on the placard

but
ultimately, you can find out by doing a W&B. The POH should

give you the
max. aft CG and you can figure out what weight you need in the

seat to
achieve that position.
