AN ATR72 FLT CREW INADVERTENTLY EXCEEDED THE ACFT TAXI WT.

Narrative

THE FLT WAS A CONTINUOUS DUTY OVERNIGHT. THE CREW ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL LATE AND HAD AN EARLY DEP. ONE OF THE FLT ATTENDANTS OVERSLEPT; SO WE STARTED OFF 15 MINS LATER. THE GND CREW WAS ANXIOUS FOR US TO MAKE OUR DEP TIME. THE ACFT HAD MAINT THE NIGHT BEFORE; SO THE FO AND I TOOK A LITTLE MORE TIME THAN NORMAL WITH OUR GND CHKS. THE ACFT WAS FULL WITH A JUMP SEATER RIDING UP FRONT. WHEN THE FO INITIALLY DID THE WT AND BAL; WE EXCEEDED OUR TKOF WT. I HAD HIM RECALCULATE THE WT AND BAL USING THE WT OF CHILDREN ONBOARD AND ACTUAL FUEL WT; (WE HAD INITIALLY ROUNDED UP). HE RECALCULATED THE WT; AND WE WERE UNDER OUR TKOF WT. THE ENTIRE TIME I COULD TELL THE FO WAS RUSHED IN HIS CALCULATIONS AS THE GND CREW WAS IMPATIENTLY WAITING FOR US TO LEAVE AND I MAY HAVE BEEN GIVING HIM 'BODY LANGUAGE' THAT I WAS IMPATIENT TO LEAVE AS WELL AS THE SCHEDULE DEP TIME; WHICH HAD SLIPPED BY. I REVIEWED THE WT AND BAL; AND IT LOOKED GOOD TO ME. AS WE APCHED OUR DEST; I REVIEWED THE WT AND BAL AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I NOTICED THAT WHILE OUR TKOF WT WAS BELOW LIMITS; WE EXCEEDED OUR TAXI WT. I THINK THE THINGS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS WERE: TIRED; RUSHED FROM THE BEGINNING DUE TO THE LATE FLT ATTENDANT; THE FO FEELING PRESSURE TO GET THE PAPERWORK DONE; AND PRESSURE TO TRY AND ACCOMMODATE THE JUMP SEATER.
