Narrative:
When filling out weight and balance I fill out the weight and balance and the captain initials it too. Rushed to fill out the form, I filled out the form wrong and later the FAA ramp checked the flight's paperwork. Basically, the whole form was filled out wrong. This particular form was different and for a loner aircraft from another airliner on which the weight and balance was very different. Not familiar with this form and rushed and new in the widebody transport I filled it out wrong.
