Known history of wing problems
Creampuff
i have great respect for your opinions, and it's good to see you active here again.
However I stated that this aircraft had a kinown history of wing problems, and it did. And it was given approval (in Australia) to carry what the makers considered a substantial overload.
This IS to do with the rules. It cannot be discounted as "thread drift"
In fact it seems to be an example of our regulator ignoring the rules, and authorising a 400 kg overload in an aircraft that had a history of known wing sructural problems.
