I don't know guys.

Even if you KNOW that a plane can fly overgross, it's obviously NOT a good idea or practice to get into the habit of.

The trouble is, the plane MAY fly overgross, but what happens when you take away the standard conditions that you're use to flying in, put the plane into a different environment / flight regime that it obviously isn't certified for.

That whole knowing the plane can fly overgross goes right out the engine exhaust, and you find yourself in the ground.

Don't mess around with your numbers, and fly the damn thing by the POH.

Shouldn't be too difficult.
