PROBLEM

We are at the holding point at an actual weight exactly at RTOW.The tower advise(or we become aware) that the oat has risen by 3 degrees.I ask the copilot to re-check the RTOW."Sir we are 500kgs over our revised RTOW now".

SOLUTION: "Please hand amend the loadsheet to increase the TAXI FUEL BY 500kgs".Done this several times in the past 28 years of big jet PIC.......Never had a problem yet.

INSTRUCTOR: Alcohol is a dangerous drug for pilots.Its also addictive.
ME: Sir, ive been drinking alcohol every day of my life since I turned 18 and I have never found it addictive yet.....Pete.
