Payload
When this MD-11 was loaded with freight would there be less rigour in a place like China as to the total mass of the load.
If the load was more than what was stated on the paperwork would the crew have known at take-off?
So
1. Was the payload correct? Was it balanced?
2. Are ALL ground facilities competent in measuring payload?
3. If the load was different than the paperwork stated would the crew have known at take off?
