For a training aircraft, I’d like to see all these numbers recomputed based on a 1-hour lesson and 1.5 hours of reserve.
In that condition, what is the useful load?
That, to me, is a MUCH more useful number for a trainer.
For a personally owned general purpose fun/travel plane, I’d want to know both that number and the full-fuel payload numbers.
