Narrative:

I was PIC on a revenue flight from kdca to day on jan/xx/03. Upon landing in dayton, it was noted that the bag count reflected on our flight documentation was inaccurate. 2 checked bags were not included in the provided bag count. This 47 pounds did not exceed any weight limits, but it does indeed reflect an unacceptable inaccuracy by ramp personnel.
