When do you enter final loadsheet figures into FMS
I think to remember having heard BA is entering final loadsheet figures into the FMS after going offblocks. Is that memory true and still the case? If yes, what are the SOPs around it? When do you set trim for takeoff? When does the CPT sign the loadsheet?
I guess signing the loadsheet is a legal requirement for the CPT. Does anyone know whether the law needs the signature before offblock or is it enough before starting takeoff roll?
How are other airlines doing it?
We have the principle of flying LMC free, so we get final load calculations only very late, often when all doors are closed, so costing another 2 min before going off block, since you need to crosscheck the figures, enter them, and CPT needs to sign the loadsheet.
Find it a pity that we are not able to leave immediately after all doors are closed.
