I know that at 1999 KG That is an artificial weight limit which you have to operate within not the actual aircraft capability.
As others have said It avoids you paying Airways and landing charges.
Interesting point would be insurance? If the aircraft is limited at 1999 KG but capable of a higher weight in reality what would happen if you operated overweight regarding the 1999 KG but under its true weight capability.
Would the insurance refuse to pay out as you had operated above its certificated weight but below its real weight capability!
Would make an interesting court case as in reality its only a paper exercise
