REFUEL MANUAL.

Yes, Turin, there used to be a Noddys guide to refuelling aboard, but now that we're not allowed even to carry a screwdriver for "minor maintenance tasks", presumably because some EASA desk pilot considers us unfit for such duties, I suspect it's been removed.

Even worse, it's been hidden or lost in the maze of EFB or e-manuals which are all the rage with de management, but as a recent CHIRP demonstrates, are not necessarily the answer to the task of staying abreast of changes.

As part of my inflight occupational therapy, I will on my next trip scour the flight deck for such a publication, but without much hope of success.

I might even discover the source of the magic 300kgs figure....................?
