Do you take off or do you wait and burn the 200kgs at holding point?
That is an easy one!
As the company will want to know why I have taken off above the limit weight (it will be flagged on the QAR) and I wish to retire on my terms I would wait.
You will probably think that silly for a piddling pecentage, but that is how it is done in a professional outfit.
“Explain in you own words why you ignored the limit.”
