I hate to disagree without documentation, but I have talked to an engineer
at Cessna who says that the fact that the line ends at 400 pounds is not a limitation. For seat strength, he referred me to a National Bureau of Standards website which, after a number of side trips, ends up with a request that the inquirer pony up some bucks to get the publications involved. Bob Gardner "John Gaquin" wrote in message ... "Brad Zeigler" wrote in message "Yeah, its a limitation." He reasoned as he showed me the POH W&B graph. The line to calculate moment stops at 400lbs. I've never heard this before. Has anyone else? Otherwise, I've broken the rules on nearly every flight with a passenger or student more than 140lbs ![]() Yes, we had to live with this when I was instructing in the seventies. As explained to me, the source limitation is the structural capacity of the floor structure when subjected to max certificated g loading. But you are right in that it is mentioned nowhere in the text of the limitations section. |
