No, it wasn't clearly the pilot's responsibility. FTA: [The safety board] noted that Air Canada "neglected to assign clearly and specifically the responsibility for calculating the fuel load in an abnormal situation,"[4] finding that the airline had failed to reallocate the task of checking fuel load that had been the responsibility of the flight engineer on older (three-crew) aircraft. The safety board also said that Air Canada needed to keep more spare parts, including replacements for the defective fuel quantity indicator, in its maintenance inventory, as well as provide better, adequate training on the metric system to its pilots and fuelling personnel.
