No-one's told the ac that, when it's full of pax and at MTOW, it is no longer the civil airliner it once was!! I undersand that it had to prove that it had this excess performance in its early days due to the suspicion (unfounded) that a single engine failure would invariably become a double engine failure due to the pairing of the engines?
