@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com: Snipola Using 170 pounds per person is supposed to be a legit method of estimating the weight. Even the FAA doesn't expect you to carry a scale and weigh the passengers and cargo. Esitmating is supposed to be legit. So you could underestimate and be over the gross weight. Yes, but as others have pointed out in the 30 minute reserve threads, the FAA rules are _minimum guidelines_. It is still up to the pilot to make sure. There may be scenarios where following the FAA rules to the letter isn't enough. Perhaps this isn't the best analogy, but there are times driving around here in the LA area, especially when on my motorcycle, that I willingly and consciously choose to break traffic laws because doing otherwise will increase the risk to my life. When it comes to deciding between rules and safety, I'll choose safety every time.
