I appreciate that aircraft have different weights for similar models but let's take an 'average' 150/152 with reasonable avionics fit and the sort of weight increase that comes with time, say:

1150 lbs

Add full fuel at: 160 lbs

MAUW: 1600 lbs

This leaves: 290 lbs

Allow: 10 lbs for headsets/clothing etc

Leaves room for 280 pounds of crew (10 stone each!)

I would suggest that many 150/152 training sorties are flown with the aircraft above MAUW.
