According to the speadsheet, two moderately weighing people (200 lb each - moderatly fat bastards) would get about 50 min endurance. Which is not a lot.
That surprises me - as a training acft, operating within W & B must be a problem. Or am I overlooking something here?
I'd like to understand this - so will take ridicule if it leads to clarity.
Remember that most of the training aircraft used today were built in the 1970's when the mass of the average American was about half of what they weigh today (give or take). Mr Cessna and Mr Piper probably could increase the limiting weights of these 70's airframes due to safety margins built in but would rather not due to litigation if anything went wrong.
