Interflug, when any airplane is built, the weight is calculated by the design engineers as weight is one of the biggest enemys, if you like, of aircraft, in that, the heavier they are, the more fuel they burn etc etc. ...There is no discrepancy allowed with the weight.
Thank you for taking the time. I do know all this. My question is more, that you as a pilot have no way of verifying, if a weight on a load sheet is correct or not, is that so? I'm interested to learn. If someone screwed up with the cargo weight for what ever reason and you have a wrong number on the load sheet, when is the moment you will find out?
Could that theoretically be at least a contributing factor for being too high too early in the flight, without margins for sudden temperature changes or turbulences?
