Or if you hit the ground just beyond the runway in the real world because you
took off overweight.

How would that happen, given you are (see OP) 75 or 100 pound overweight
- COG is not mentioned, so assume we're inside the envelope (fwd/aft
envelope).

The military routinely operate 'overweight' - they can not achieve the
climb-out angle required by civilian flight.

How come they don't all just crash off the end of the RWY?

I've flown a 172 more loaded that!

You are demonstrating as to why you are the group clown.
If an aircraft impacts the ground after takeoff it will be engine
failure or loss of control (spin off departing turn) nothing to do
with load..

Mate of mine is an ag pilot.At 72+

You have no idea why what you just said is nonsensical, and I'm not
going to bother to explain it to you.

Uh. 30 pound over is burned off in about 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, take-off is over in 30 seconds.

With a modern runway in front of me around 700m long and no
obstructions above 200 feet for a km or so I will be safely off the
ground and established in the climb at 30 seconds.
30 minutes I will be clear of the circuit at my (C172) cruising
altitude and on track for my destination.

Where's the slippery slope?

The slippery slope is in the fact that any accident is caused by a
string of deliberate decisions made by the pilot.

You can always argue that the pilot could have done /this/
differently,
or /that/ differently and the accident could have been avoided.

I beg your pardon!!!!!!

The part about most accidents being the culmination of a chain of
events
is true. However, the extrapoltion that those events are deliberate
is
usually pure poppycock--the exceptions simply get much greater
coverage.

If an insurance company can argue they don't owe anything because the
pilot deliberately took off 30 pounds over max gross, then they can
equally argue that they don't owe anything when a pilot deliberately
launches into a thunderstorm filled area.

Imagine what it would be like if you get into a automobile crash, and
have the insurance company ignore your claim because the police
determined you were going 57mph in a 55 zone.

"Oops, you were exceeding limitations at the time of the accident, we
aren't liable to pay out"


God you're dumb.
