Bit quick to jump into the Weeds are you Crab?

You assume of course the Pilots knowingly operated the aircraft 2.5% over the 8300 kg weight limit.

Perhaps they did not know....thus why would their "Ticket" be in jeopardy?

Now if like in the "Iron 41" S-61 Crash.....had the Operator provided the Pilot's bogus Weight and Balance and WAT Data....it would be the Operator and not the Pilots that were in violation.

As the weight was upped by 300 kgs....perhaps not as much damage was done as might be assumed.

Again....I am more concerned how such a thing happened and let the chips lay where they fall following the inquiry.

The Carson culprits wound up in the Gray Bar Hotel over their falsifying FAA and USFS documentation.

By the way....I lost a friend in that crash so I do fully grasp the significance of such issues.
