Default Idiot Pilot Runs Out of Gas - Lands Cessna on I-81 - CAN'T BE CHARGED!!

It could be any of a number of things. It could be go-around

regulatory requirement for that. More often it's structural,
determined by airframe stresses at the the limit load factors. For
the new LSA class it's an arbitrary limit of 1320 lbs.


Well, it was set arbitrarily by the FAA, but for aircraft designed to that
limit (such as the Zodiac XL), how much effect does it have on the
structural design?
