Narrative:
During preflight weight and balance, I mistakenly wrote 7800 pounds for fuel. It should have been 8700 pounds. Being rushed, I inverted the 8 and 7. Though no limitations were exceeded during the flight, the potential for such is obviously present for such a situation. Contributing factor: lack of accuload.
