I can on,y have a student at 140lbs max for the 152. Being I am 6’2 I avoid the 152 at all costs. Not enjoyable being crammed in there.
I am a body positive CFI and I don’t do primary training so I don’t get to turn people down.
What’s a body positive CFI?
Current flows into him.
I have a positive body image, it’s a way of saying I am a plus sized CFI.
Only when we would be over weight...how often do you turn away students because of weight limitations?
Stop resisting.
Two 150 lb. guys with 3/4 tanks was too much on one hot day; one mile from the end of the runway there's a 400 foot hill—we had to turn because we couldn't make it without skimming the trees. Of course, a 150 used for training likely wouldn't have the full 100 horses in any case, even at sea level!I used a 150/152 to teach for many years and never had any issues. Two 200 lb guys with full tanks could be a problem though.

Why is that? The useful load is similar in both models. Granted the 152 has a few more ponies.
