If it is the same aircraft and you have already calculated that you have a safety margin, with a certain load and distribution, then, unless something changes, I don't see why this is bad airmanship.

Not having an opinion here.. obviously I do.. not sharing it because one camp or the other will disagree.

While I do applaud FTG and Genghis etc, I'd like to see their views on "90% of C152s at flying schools depart overweight".

Also a question. Is the PA28-161 not certified to 2325lbs in the UK, but 2440lbs in the US?

I don't have an opinion on whether 90% of Cessnas depart overweight, as I don't have the data.

I can only say that they never have when I was flying one, although we did get to or close to MAUW on most occasions.... and I don't recall ever departing on full tanks.
