Instructions for reducing min front seat load when flying with
both seats occupied are in the manuals for the newer Duo X, Arcus and through optional TN 295-29 for Janus. Maybe it's also in the revision 9 for Duo FM, but the download link on S-H website doesn't work. Ask S-H, and they will probably solve it. Regarding blaming EASA, I think it's actually the opposite, german LBA had very restrictive view on complicated load instructions, but EASA seems to accept this. Also the ASK 21 has a corresponding TN nr 35, where the reduction is allowed in the german and UK-flagged manual pages, but not in the US-flagged. So maybe the FAA is to blame?

The rear seat moment arm has about 1/4th the effect compared to the front, so I would think a 200 pounder in the rear would reduce the front min weight by 50 pounds - nicht wahr? Maybe the numbers are based on a super cautious approach for situations like an instructor jumping out when the student solos and forgetting to recompute the cg? My guess....The European High Command, EASA, has a strict definition for the format of the placard that MUST go in the cockpit. This has a space for only one configuration. If Shempp were to alter this it would make the aircraft unsafe to fly in Europe. Jim |
