1100 pounds over loaded a C-402.??

Isn't usable load with full fuel somewhere around 1200 pounds with standard tanks.??

Since Australia is not that far from Papua New Guinea I don't think a ferry tank would be needed.

Oh well. Somebodies party will be delayed....

If so where do I apply?

If you get the job, be sure to always ask the cops if the pilot filed a flight plan. Oh--and if the engine stalled.
