The value of 265 T (zero fuel weight) was entered instead of the take-off weight (TOW) (normally 364 T). While doing this, the relief pilot entered a wrong figure for the loading. They agreed to use the load sheet, as they were in Brussels. The commander and the relief pilot discussed the opportunity to use either the figures of the load sheet, or use a specific module of the performance computer in order to enter the weight of the individual pallets, as it is done in outstation. The cargo loading was reported on the load sheet produced by a local handling agency. The relief pilot took the following into consideration: wet runway starting from B1 intersection of runway 25R disregard the head wind value.
The relief pilot took one of the two portable computers on-board, and performed the computation. The commander agreed and requested to make the computation for dry and wet runway in the event the runway's conditions would change. In the cockpit, the relief pilot asked the commander to do the performance computation with the real time take-off software (RTTO). Realizing the time left to prepare for the flight was insufficient, the commander requested to postpone the flight for 30 minutes this was granted and the crew went to the aircraft. The flight engineers arrived 20 to 30 minutes before the departure time. The briefing was conducted by the three pilots. The crew agreed that the co-pilot would be the pilot flying for the first leg. The relief pilot, having just completed the B747-400 conversion course, requested the commander to fly on the second leg of the flight (Dakar-Viracopos) in order for him, during the first leg (Brussels-Dakar), to refresh his memory on the B747-200. The additional flight engineer was an examiner, needed for a routine check of the first flight engineer. The third pilot was intended as relief pilot, needed for the long flight.
There were six persons on board three pilots, two flight engineers and a load master (passenger).
