so it will be pilot error, or will it be a system error at the skydive company? The thing I can't get my head round is, if the margin is so fine that a slightly misloaded a/c or a shift in weight results in an unrecoverable situation for the pilot (as it seems to have here), if the margin is that fine then why the hell did this thing ever get certified for 8 pax in the back. They are very very quick to send out this emergency AD, so something is obviously very wrong and obviously wrong,

my question, who checks out the skydiving mod and signs it off for use in the first place?
