LOAD SHEET FUEL DISTRUBUTION
When must load control be notified?
Flight Crew are to continue to notify Load Control of Total Fuel
discrepancies exceeding +- 1000kg and/or Trim Tank discrepancies exceeding +-200kg.
Provided Total Fuel and Trim Tank LMC limits as per FAM 17.1.7.3 A330 LMC are respected

A330-200 CWT residual fuel amounts less than or equal to 750kg are acceptable, provided:
• Performance and structural weight limitations are not exceeded.
• Fuel in the CWT is considered unusable and remaining fuel is assessed sufficient. If useable fuel is insufficient, ensure the fuel quantity is increased to a sufficient amount
