Are you saying you don't do a MAUW test flight in your training?


That is exactly what he is saying. It's also pretty normal these days
to get a license in a 4-seater (Skyhawk or Warrior) without ever
having anyone in the back seat or coming anywhere near gross weight.


Not here not ever. You get a rating you have to demonstrate at least
one MAUW circuit.
And the idea of crosscountry flying without weighing the pax is
foolish to say the least
