A friend just asked an interesting question.
While doing W & B for a PA 28-151 he noticed that the Front Seat ( Pilot & Pax) Loading Graph Line stopped at 420 lbs.
His question is; "Is it a LIMIT"?
My thought is it is NOT as areas that are limited such as a Baggage Comp will generally be placarded.
Also you are NOT required to use that method of calculating W & B.
While I'm quite sure Design Requirements for seats have changed at this time I have NOT heard of any limits.
Pre MacDonalds, BK, folks did not weigh as much per FAR.
If it is a LIMIT 2 people each weighing 215 would be over.
1 person & 220 would exceed the "Seat Limit"?
Anyone else have a comment?
