Let's see
Two morbidly obese pilots in a C152.
There are some 300 pound plus people out there

Here's a clue or two for you:

What is currently the weight of a FAA standard person, what was it
previously and when did it change last?

Does a pilot fly naked?

Does a pilot need to carry anything with him?

Are all pilots under 5 foot 9 inches tall?

He is well aware that on many 2 and 4 place aircraft you can't fill the
seats with adults and fill the tanks without the W&B being out, so he
phrased his question in such a way that he thinks he will "win" the
discussion.

This is a standard mxmanic deflection tactic.

When his question is viewed in context with what has already been said,
and which he has snipped, his question is basically irrelevant and absurd.

...and correct. So just explain it that way.


No, he is not.

A little searching will find several single place LSA class (now)
airplanes that can't carry much weight at all and I know lots of
quite heavy pilots, especially when adding the weight of clothes
and the flight bag.

I don't think the C152 requires 2 pilots and we are talking about standard
pilot weights. Can you think of a correct answer?

"Standard pilot weight" wasn't part of the original discussion.
