Interesting to see how it’s done. Thanks for sharing it.
As a pilot on the A320 Family, I like the aircraft to be tail heavy for better fuel consumption. As long as it’s in the green band and the loadsheet has been done correctly, I’m happy.
We do a lot of tankering and sometimes due to the heavy payload, we can not tanker as much as we would like to. So, we like to have the latest ZFW as soon as possible to give the final fuel figure. It’s even more important when weather is problematic and we have little extra. I get annoyed when the loadsheet comes and realised we could have taken 2 tonnes extra fuel and saved considerable amount of $.
