Narrative:
I have found that the fuelers at cyyz are continuously filling out the fuel sheet wrong. Today I found that the actual in tanks after fueling are written in prior to fueling. I asked about this practice and was told that at cyyz the way they fill out a fuel sheet is to take the desired; divide by 2; and put that value in on the actual lines prior to fueling. I informed the station that these lines are for the actual value after fueling read from the gauges. I was told that this was not the way they did it at cyyz. I have noticed in the past that they also take the block fuel; divide by 2; and enter that number into the pre lines without ever looking at the gauges -- also a practice I inquired about and was told that is how they do it at cyyz. Why even have a fuel sheet?
