PNNews, hello, when you say, "That a so called JAR 27 airframe comes into the arena weighing so over the JAR 27 specs that we here are asking..." has very little to do with the point of my post. I was questioning a statement about noise issues that I and others have not found to be the case.
When I said "I never felt that it had a weight problem before, but extra weight allowance is always welcome", it is my personal opinion. You may have a different opinion about whether it has a weight problem or whether the additional 500 pounds is a welcome, that is certainly your prerogative and you are welcome to it. I find the extra 500 pounds a positive step whether Bell had that in mind when they first designed the aircraft or not.
