Narrative:
As PIC (pilot in command) from ZZZ to ZZZ1; I was reviewing the operating flight plan and load sheet prior to flight. I discovered a discrepancy between the two and found the operating flight plan to be 118;989 pounds lighter than the load sheet data. I contacted the flight dispatcher on duty and voiced my concerns. New operating flight plan and load sheet was generated with the correct data. I was informed it was confusion between kilograms and pounds that was the cause of the paperwork error.
