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. It's been my experience most aircraft are more sensitive to balance than weight. Some aircraft are famous for their carrying ability... the Cherokee Six, Cessna C-182, and Cessna C-210 come to mind. Supposedly they'll fly if you can get the doors shut. I know for a fact that the Cherokee Six and the C-210 will carry six people, full fuel , dive gear (less tanks) and baggage for a four day stay. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE
