Aviation safety issues and actions

Load Sheet layout

Issue number:	AO-2010-081-SI-01
Who it affects:
Issue owner:	Cobham Aviation Services Australia
Operation affected:	Aviation: Air transport
Background:	Investigation Report AO-2010-081
Date:	09 February 2012

Safety issue description

The presentation on the aircraft load sheet of the zero fuel weight immediately below the operating weight, increased the risk of selecting the inapropriate figure for flight management system data entry.

Proactive Action

Action organisation:	Cobham Aviation Services Australia
Action number:	AO-2010-081-NSA-026
Date:	09 February 2012
Action status:	Closed

As a result of this occurrence, the presentation of the load sheet has been changed to separate the operating weight and the zero fuel weight data in order minimise the risk of inadvertent selection of an incorrect weight.

Current issue status:	Adequately addressed
Status justification:	The operator has changed the format of the aircraft loadsheet
