RWY CONFIGN RWY WT LIMITATION EXCEEDED FOR TKOF BY DC-9 CREW.

Narrative

TKOF PERFORMED SEVERAL HUNDRED LBS OVER THE MAX RWY LIMIT WT. THE OFFENDING NUMBERS WERE RIGHT THERE ON THE FLT RELEASE FORM; WHICH WAS PREPARED BY FO WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND HRS IN TYPE; INCLUDING SOME AS PIC; AND REVIEWED AND SIGNED BY ME! DEST SEA WAS RPTING BELOW MINIMUMS; BUT FORECAST TO BE ABOVE -- BARELY. WE TOOK LOTS OF EXTRA FUEL AS A CONTINGENCY; AND TOOK 2 TRIES AT IT; THE FIRST RESULTING IN A RETURN TO PDX FOR ADDITIONAL FUEL AND WX CHKS (AFTER AN HR IN HOLDING BEFORE THE FIRST TRY). IN RETROSPECT; I MADE AT LEAST 2 ERRORS IN JUDGEMENT (IN ADDITION TO THE PAPER WORK OVERSIGHT). 1) A TRIED TOO HARD TO 'GET THE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.' 2) I DIDN'T SLOW DOWN AND BECOME MORE DELIBERATE DUE TO EXTENDED DUTY DAY DUE TO BAD WX. (I FELT FINE BECAUSE MY DAY HAD STARTED MUCH LATER THAN FO'S; SO I DIDN'T TAKE HIS FATIGUE INTO ACCOUNT IN SETTING THE COCKPIT PAGE -- ONLY HIS EXPERIENCE.) AN ADDITIONAL FACTOR; WHICH IS IRONICALLY BEING ADDRESSED BY THE COMPANY SUBSEQUENTLY; IS THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY NUMBERS/ITEMS TO FILL IN AND BE SURE OF THEIR CORRECTNESS -- WOULD YOU BELIEVE 107 SPACES; INCLUDING 241 DIGITS?! IF MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF LEGS WE'D FLOWN THAT DAY; I'D REVIEWED 723 DIGITS; AND THE FO 1446 DIGITS; NOT COUNTING SEVERAL OTHER DOCUMENTS WE USE IN ADDITION TO THE FLT RELEASE ON WHICH THE OVERSIGHT WAS MADE! AT ANY RATE; THE MOTTO SHOULD BE TO MAKE THE PAGE INVERSELY PROPORTIONATE TO THE VOLUME OF WORK!
