Could we initiate a thread to get the attention of authorities

Not much point, I suggest. You are looking at a design standard sort of thing and that is processed at a much higher level than PPRuNe. More importantly, while on-board systems have their uses, at the end of the day, certification is not an exact science and involves weight tolerances. It would be quite unreasonable to look to "precise" (whatever that might mean) weight data for line operations when the flight test regimes are, at best, no better than routine line ops weight data ...

that's a good clue of how hard it landed last night ?

well proposed, that man ..
