Load sheet is only as good as the numbers you put on it.
If the load plan has bad numbers and the cargo weights are not accurate its not worth the paper its put on.
From my experience, if you fly Saudia haj, or ACMI for Saudia, even Garuda ACMI flights, the weights are usually correct.
The African ones, flights to Nigeria,etc are really stretched with incorrect weights, unless something has improved in the last 2 years.
So even your field limits and climb limits look good on the ground, but not knowing you are 10-20 tons over max weight is the issue.
Phase 1 (inbound haj) not really a big problem.
Phase 2 (outbound Haj) gets really interesting.
The big surprise starts at Rotate.
