I would be much more concerned with the BALANCE part of W&B. Yes, 100
pounds over gross is not wise, at it reduces your safety margin with
turbulence, and landing and takeoff distances.

But you really need to make sure that your CG is not out of the
allowable range -- with rear-seat pax and luggage, it could be pretty
far back. Also, you have specific weight limits in the rear luggage
area -- it's all in the POH.

So, but your heaviest passenger in the front seat, and the lightest
luggage in the rear area, and see where your CG lies.


Yawn!!!!
