I'm open to correction here because its been a while, but as I remember for Airbus, after normal flight and landing, if you access the load report through the CFDS with the aircraft at rest all that will show under VRTA is the vertical load at that moment, i.e. zero. VRTA is monitored at touchdown and if you want to find out what it was then you need to download and interpret the DFDR data for the last flight. Having said that, if VRTA limits are exceeded at touchdown then a Load Report #15 should be generated, stored and printed automatically by the CFDS. As I said the grey matter is a bit cloudy so feel free to shoot me down.
