BA Centralised Load Control
Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. I have always been led to believe that it is a legal requirement for a signed copy of a loadsheet showing the final figures be kept on the ground in case of an accident. It would appear that BA (in jersey) only receive the final figures after the a/c has pushed and pass these by radio to the crew. This obviously means there is no copy signed by the captain reflecting this kept on the ground, the voice transmission is not recorded and kept so there is no hard copy that the right figures were passed. Could someone please explain how this is approved as it seems odd that they don't just wait for a L/S with the correct figures. Also most airlines I have heard of don't do it this way even British Midland didn't when they tryed the madness of CLC.
