if for no reason than to let me know if I'm outside the aircraft limits (which could be an insurance issue if anything happened?)
Flying stone is correct! demonstrated is just that! a figure that any average PPL should be able to handle and no indication of what the aircraft is capable of handling in the right hands!
i would go as far as saying that an aircraft can handle twice or even more of the demonstrated component. Demonstrated is not a limiting issue.

Of more importance is the pilots limiting component not the aircrafts and for some that may be a light breeze of just above zero from the right or left!!
