Ross,
My gross weight is 2700 lbs. My airplane
is powered by a TSIO-550 engine; has plenty of power and T/O and climb at that
weight is not a problem.
I had Andy Chiavetta ask Greg Cole (one of
the folks involved in the design of the Legacy) if the Legacy could handle a
2700 lb gross weight and was told it would be OK. I have the ability to carry
95 gallons of fuel so needed the higher gross weight.
However, when flying at the higher weights
I fly it the same way I flew airliners.

Hi
I fly a Legacy (#309) and wondered what different AUW’s guys have taken
their Legacy’s to? I have registered mine at 2400lbs but recall reading
that some were greater than that in the USA.
