As I've gathered, most people are well familiar that as a rated helicopter pilot they can fly essentially anything under 12,500lbs of what I assume would be GTOW.

 

Where is this stated in writing/the regs?

It's MGTOW. Read the history of the Ford Tri motor.

Its interesting that you asked this. I did as well while going through school. I had seen the question while practicing the written test. Then I asked my instructor...then several instructors, then my assistant chief pilot, and surprisingly no one knew exactly where it came from in the regs.

 

Then I remembered the FAA is a semantic OCD machine. So then I reread the limitations and remembered Part 1. So look up the definition as C of G mentioned. Its in the definition that defines the weights. Then in your privileges and limitations of part 61 it uses these defined FAA vocabulary words.

Fantastic. Much appreciated! By the way, forgive my initial acronym typo. I'm not exactly sure where GWOT came from. Dyslexia wins again.
