Gross Weight

Once you start deciding for yourself
what is acceptable and was isn't in terms of speed, and ignoring the
"experts" who set the limits, you're in the same position as busting
max gross.

I was thinking more along the lines of the fact there are demonstrative
loss of performance characteristics when operating over a specific
aircraft's gross weight limitation and probably a much higher risk of
accident versus than that of operating an automobile at a speed higher than
what was arbitrarily chosen by the government without regard to the
specific vehicle type.

Well, quite, but that's a conclusion that *you* are coming to, and in
doing so, you are ignoring the rules. And yet if someone comes to a
different decision and decides that, for example, being 5% over-gross
is safer than being 15% over the speed limit, that somehow makes them a
slippery-sloper who will suddently start to break other rules, while
the speeder's judgement as to what rules to follow is considered
without such dangers. Doesn't make sense........
