Do we then conclude that a heli that has been used for say Ariel work when it will spend alot of its time circling above specific targets to get the right shot, will be more likely to have expired parts than one thats used to ferry guys to and from the golf? Lets face it you can't have it both ways. Either they spec it for doing a load of 30-60 degree banks at full weight, work out the load and recalculate what the total permisable weight should be or they assume an average of 30-60 degree banks and work it out that way?
Totally agree not to fly overweight(first sentence in this thread) Just wondered how its calculated when there are such variables??
My original question was not whether you should or shouldn't fly overweight
