I'm doing some flying for AMC (Japan Korea Guam right now but we also have contracts in Alaska Mcguire and Europe) At most of our stops some enlisted guy comes up to the cockpit to grab load paperwork and give me some for the stuff being loaded, he/she always has a form that he's filling in as he's asking for numbers. One of the numbers that is always asked for is "Operating weight" Now in our operation the only number we have that sounds like "operating weight" is our "basic operating weight" (aircraft weight with no fuel or cargo) I have a sneaking suspicion that is not the weight he is looking for but any time I've tried to clarify what they want, I get a blank look and "I dunno, sir, I just need your operating weight for this form"
So for the guys flying AMC stuff, if you're at an intermediate stop and the paperwork guy asks you for your "operating weight" what weight you give them? Landing weight at that stop? T/O weight departing origin? T/o weight departing that stop? BOW?
