Acceptance of Loadsheet
The other day a crew did not accept the loadsheet because it was only 2 units in from the tail. Now I understand that the Captain is quite allowed to do this, but everything was loaded correctly it was only tail heavy.
Would there be any particular reason for this eg: potential tailstrike is the only reason I could think of, or are the crew being overly cautious.
The airline in question does prefer a tail heavy trim and there preferred trim is not much further forward of where it was trimming at.
Also speaking to others at work they have also been questioned about being tail heavy from various different crews from the same region as the crew in question.
Is this a normal question to be asked from crews if the aircraft is loaded correctly and in trim?
Look forward to your replies.
