Fred Choate wrote: How much is too much over gross weight? My 2001 8KCAB has a certificated maximum weight of 1800 lbs. The new ones have gear legs one inch longer and are allowed 1950 lbs. in the utility envelope (mine doesn't have a utility envelope). The new legs are not stronger per se, but rather prevent a prop strike in the required drop test. The rest of the airframe is identical. With me, a 'chute, and full tanks, my airplane comes in over weight at 1802 lbs. In my airplane, I'd rather be 30 lbs over weight on takeoff than 5 gallons short of the field. -Dave Russell 8KCAB/N2S-3
