Probably not of too much interest to anyone other than ex TAA F27 F/Os, but Maui mentioned "Progressive Loadsheets" - a love/hate (probably mostly hate) peice of paperwork for the F/Os on the western runs.
This is the top "half" of one - I coudn't post the whole darn thing because of it's size. The idea was to fill this up at each place we dropped into and by adding and subtracting what or who got on or off you had a weight to accurately (you hope) prepare your Loadsheet. If I remember correctly, the idea was to progress across and down the page to get to the bottom right hand corner with "0". If you didn't, it mean't that you screwed up somewhere along the way and had something/someone on a leg which/who was not supposed to be there!!! - and then you had to go back and see if you could find the error. Many "one bar F/O's" on the western runs were obliged to spend almost the entire flight in the flight deck, both in flight and on the ground trying to tame this "beast" - usually by the time you got your second stripe you became an expert and could get off with the skipper to have a natter with the "girls", refueler or the "locals".
Julia Creek 1981 as we have a chat with the "locals" and not even a thought of "Precision Timing Scheduling" - to enable an on-time departure - it's still Tuesday isn't it ??? -
Birdsville on the way to "the Alice" - we almost ended up over nighting here because a certain FO forget to switch the battery off whilst "sightseeing" and the ensuing engine start was very slow and required judicious use of HP Cock metering to keep within the 930C start limit.
