Most glider seat belt attachment fittings are the limiting factors for weight in the seat. For most, the max weight is 242 Lbs or 110 Kg. To be specific, the seal belt attachments are designed and certified to not fail in a 40 G deceleration with a 110 kg person. If you weigh 120 kg (265 lb) then try to keep your crashes down to 36.7 G. In the USA, insurance gets to be a problem in that area. If one intentionally flies the aircraft over a certain placard/handbook limit, and has an accident, then this becomes a way for the insurance company to deny payments. RO |
