Limits are Limits are Limits
I agree that we may have a troll looking for an argument. Only one thing needs to be understood. Limitations are just that, limitations. Why they have been identified as limitations (i.e. gross weight, airspeed, engine power or maximum certified altitude) are not for us to question. It is not ours to attempt to determine why a limit has been imposed but rather to obey it.
Once, in a former lifetime, I was assigned with the task of evaluating the autorotative performance and flying qualities of the CH-53D at the aircraft’s forward and aft CG limits. As part of my preflight preparation I contacted Sikorsky for advice when approaching the limits in this evaluation. Their advice was simple and direct. Be careful and don’t exceed the limits.
