Doesn't adding to your maximum all up weight take you over the maximum all weight? More to worry about than power.
I meant "up to - your maximum . . . "

This is all on the first few pages of any aviation PPL textbook, really very elementary part of aeronautical knowledge.
Show us then . . . .

Show us where it is write that an increase in weight demands an increase in power - just those words, all together.

Am not inventing the wheel. It is just not mentioned, at the beginning of a PPL/Basic training book. Which is the point of this thread.

What usually happens in my case I typically fly at the same power setting (close to max allowed per POH) and observe slower IAS with heavier loads at the same altitude
Exactly.
