loads of airlines who when following their ops manual are not required to burn that fuel that equates to 0.1% or less of the total aircraft weight before they take off.
Name two.
They would have to prove definitively how much over weight you were and as I said, it would be physically impossible.
No, they would only have to prove you knowingly acted in contravention of the ops manual and you would be history. If you've never been on the recieving end of an insurance companies lawer as they try and duck liability, you don't know what you're missing!!
Ok Messiah, I'll shut up if you answer two questions:-
1) Does YOUR ops manual say it's ok to take off with indications that you're overweight?
2) You say .1% is ok. Is .2%? If the Max TOW as calculated by the appoved system isn't the absolute limit, who decides what the limit is?
