Actually I have heard of this happening, where an FAA inspector saw 5
guys with parachute rigs get into a 182 in preparation for a Skydive.
After the jump the inspector requested that the pilot show that he
airplane was being flown within the W&B limits. The pilot happily
complied and showed the inspector that the airplane was being flown
within limits. End of Story.

Not exactly reliable information. There are thousands of similar "I heard"
stories in aviation. A surprisingly large number of them are not true. Do
you have a reliable cite?
