I was just on Fly BVI and they were more concerned about the volume of bags we had than the weight. Apparently the limiting factor depends on the type of plane you are on. We were on a Cessna 404 which I guess handles weight pretty well.
It depends how much fuel is onboard and where the plane is going. With full fuel the total weight of bags and people cannot exceed 701 lbs. The exact formulas and variables are far greater than anyone can count. With no fuel on a good day with a long runway that same plane could get off the ground with more than 2,500lbs packed aboard.
