Phase one addresses the matters of maximum complete utilization of aircraft load lifting capacity
and its timely departure to schedule.
10 minutes prior to departure all accompanying documentation shall be delivered to the aircraft.
After check-in passenger and baggage have been completed, in case of aircraft incomplete load,
passengers for vacant seats are processed and debriefing held.
The commercial warehouse dispatcher (CWD) of the original airport before passenger registration
commencement, and of the interim airport – following the receipt of reference information – shall report to
the payload dispatcher the presence at the warehouse of mail and freight for the planned flight by point of
landing.
The commercial warehouse dispatcher (CWD) shall put together mail and freight batches and
pass them over to the balance dispatcher. Prior to departure CWD shall adjust the weight and number of
mail and freight items. Adjustment is generally reduced to the disembarkation of surplus freight (by
weight). Freight to be disembarked is identified by the stock-keeper and taken off the board by loaders
under the supervision of the load dispatcher (LD).
The end result of payload calculation is the issuance of carriage documents to IATA form:
• Load Instruction;
• Loadsheet;
• Trim Sheet;
• LDM message — report of aircraft general payload;
• СРМ message – report of container or pallet distribution in A/C compartments.
Aircraft weight calculation and balance are performed with the use of respective reference and
methodological materials provided by the airline by certified personnel. Personnel requirements are
described in Chapter 1 « REQUIREMENTS TO THE STAFF ».
Payload calculation for aircraft on scheduled flights is performed by a Balance Dispatcher. Loading
and the control over observance of rules of loading and conformity to its loading instruction of loading on
board the aircraft is supervised by a Load Dispatcher.
At airports not staffed with balance groups or having no permit for servicing a specific aircraft type
the functions of a Balance Dispatcher are performed by the co-pilot, and those of a Load Dispatcher – by
a flight attendant (operator) operating by supervision and under the control of the co-pilot.

adjustment.
Reliability of payload calculation and compliance of aircraft load with such calculation; compliance
with the requirements for load lashing is checked by the crew.
In change of en-route meteorological conditions the crew shall make adjustments in the
preliminary payload calculation.
Prior to departure the co-pilot shall check the correctness of payload calculation by Trim Sheet
(Loadsheet) and sign it. If an error is identified he shall correct it personally or with the assistance of the

LOAD PLANNING PROCEDURES Chapter 2
Balance Dispatcher shall obtain information on the load of planned flight from passenger and cargo
services and have data on aircraft loading (on the basis of navigational calculation) for the planned flight
by landing point.
Balance Dispatcher shall calculate preliminary values of the weights of passengers and baggage,
and the limit weight of mail and cargo. He shall report calculation results to the cargo warehouse
dispatcher and get data from him on the number of items and the weight of mail and cargo planned for
the flight.
The weight of passengers and baggage is calculated on the basis of tickets sold in advance and
the average statistical weight of baggage on this flight. In the use of an check in automated system data
of the weight of passengers, baggage and cabin baggage shall be taken from the check in automated
system (DCS).
On the basis of the limit weight of mail and cargo the cargo warehouse dispatcher shall batch mail
and cargo for the planned flight. The batching results – number of items and their weight – shall be
reported to the balance dispatcher for preliminary payload calculation.
The Balance Dispatcher shall calculate positioning of load on board the aircraft.
To prevent the aircraft inclined the airplane tipping while loading Balance Dispatcher shall perform
a rapid calculation of aircraft balance with cargo, mail and baggage, but without passengers, crew and
fuel. Preliminary loading is only permitted subject to the condition that the estimate balance is less than
the marginal aircraft balance on the ground.
Estimate calculations of balance are only required for aircraft inclined the airplane tipping.
If the payload is insufficient for balance within the acceptable range then ballast should be used.
The Balance Dispatcher shall calculate ballast weight and position. The ballast is included in the actual
payload of the aircraft.
Load Dispatcher having received the Loading Instruction, consultation from the Balance Dispatcher
and having fully realized the assignment shall arrange for aircraft loading and supervise the loading to
completion. The load dispatcher shall assure exact compliance of actual aircraft load with one presented
by the balance dispatcher in the Loading Instruction. It is only in such case that an alignment of payload
and aircraft balance may be achieved.
The unloading of cargo, mail and luggage by planes inclined to tail tipping should be made since
extreme aft cargo compartments. Unloading of forward cargo compartments should be made in last turn.
The Balance Dispatcher should notify on it the Load Dispatcher on by a mark in Loadsheet in SI about
possible plane a tail tipping in while plane unloading.

LOAD PLANNING PROCEDURES Chapter 2
The key purpose of the automated system is to cut the period of flight commercial support and
raise flight safety by excluding subjective errors of manual calculation. Moreover, it eliminates the need
of the Trim Sheet since the system prints the final results of calculation on the Loadsheet.
Data for payload calculation are split into permanent and online. Permanent data are stored in the
memory of the automated system. The values of online data are identified and input to the system in the
process of aircraft preparation for departure.
Permanent data are presented in the format provided by a special form. The shape of this form is
stipulated by Resolution IATA АНМ 560. A document executed in accordance with this Resolution
contains information on permanent technical characteristics of aircraft and payload, crew number and
limitations of these aircraft in weight and balance.
A service company shall input permanent and online data into the system and bear responsibility
for reliability of these data and results of calculation by the aircraft payload system.
The reliability of payload calculation is verified before the start of system operation by comparing
the results produced by the automated system with those of respective theoretical calculation of aircraft
balance in accordance with Resolution IATA АНМ 561.
In case of aircraft characteristics change following a dispatch of reference data in the form of
АНМ 560, the service company shall be informed thereabout either with a repeated forwarding of
amended АНМ 560, or with a standard short message – notice of change in DEM (Data Exchange
Message) data under Resolution IATA АНМ 562.
The automated system does not print out final Loadsheet in case of violation of set limits of
aircraft payload and balance at takeoff.
The automated system registers violations of set limitations in terms of aircraft weight and
balance for all estimated flight phases and gives respective warning. For flight safety, in case of
overload or violation of aircraft balance at takeoff the issuance of final Loadsheet is forbidden. However,
in the process of calculating payload the issuance of preliminary Loadsheet is possible irrespective of
any violations. Such information is used to address current matters of flight commercial support.

LOAD PLANNING PROCEDURES Chapter 2
Aircraft Trim Sheet is a supporting document determining flight safety on the basis of flight commercial
support to next boarding. It is prepared in two counterparts, one for the airport of departure, the other for the crew.
Introducing amendments to the Trim Sheet is a prerogative of the balance dispatcher that originated the
Trim Sheet. If the Trim Sheet was prepared by the co-pilot then the co-pilot is only entitled to amend it.
Following the check of aircraft payload, its weight and balance the co-pilot shall sign copies of Trim Sheet
and Loadsheet. A copy of signed documents are returned by the co-pilot to airport officers, the others are picked up
by him for the flight.
The weight of any items or liquids loaded on board the aircraft shall be accounted for in the respective
section of the Trim Sheet. The weight is determined with weighing (actual weight). If weighing is impossible the
standard weight is used (weight of passengers, catering, etc.).
The Trim Sheet shall be developed and approved by certified personnel of the airline or designer company
for each aircraft modification or layout
Using Trim Sheets for modifications or layouts other than a specific aircraft IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN!

WEIGHT DATA OF JSC SIBERIA AIRLINES Chapter 3
In calculating balance the weight of cabin baggage shall be taken into account in passenger
registration and displayed in the Loadsheet in the field “Cabin weight” as the sum of all accompanied
items’ weights.
Using passengers’ average statistical weight with account of cabin baggage is not permitted at
Airline flights.

JSC Siberia Airlines
WEIGHT DATA OF JSC SIBERIA AIRLINES Chapter 3
Any flight identified as exclusively carrying passengers whose weights are expected to fall outside
the standard passenger weight, e.g. fully equipped military personnel or athletic teams, the passenger
weight should be determined either by weighing or by requesting the passenger to provide their individual
weights.
The load sheet must be endorsed to show whether actual weights or weights provided by the
passengers were used. Include the total passenger weight and his endorsement in the SI part of the load
message.
If passengers are scale weighed, they shall be asked to carry their personal articles and
unchecked baggage while being weighed. Where such a group forms only a part of the total passenger
load, the total passenger weight may be calculated using either actual weights or standard weights. A
mixture of both methods is not acceptable. If standard weights are used, an arbitrary adjustment to the
passenger weight must be included in the total passenger weight. Any balance implications have to be
accounted for. When passengers are asked to provide their personal weights, a weight constant being
specified by the carrier must be added to account for clothing, personal articles and unchecked baggage.
An identifiable group, e.g. athletic squad, may have a substantial amount of equipment in addition to
regular checked baggage. Since this is defined as non-standard baggage, it must be weighed. Where
standard baggage weights are used, the difference between the actual weight of the group baggage and
the standard weights must be included in the total baggage weight. Any balance implications must be
accounted for.
BULKLOAD
Trolleys, carts, etc. loaded with bulkload shall be weighed prior to dispatch to the aircraft by use of a
weighbridge of acceptable accuracy. In the absence of such facilities, a tally should be made of the
individual weights of each piece loaded in a trolley, etc. Cargo Manifest weights shall not be used for this
purpose.
Note:
If standard baggage weights are used, a loaded trolley/cart need not be weighed.
The determined net weight of the bulk load shall be entered on a trolley tag or weight slip which is to be
attached to the trolley/cart, etc.
The tag or the weight slip shall contain the following minimum information:
- destination;
- flight number;
- net weight or number of pieces of baggage.
These weight figures shall be recorded in the Bulk Section of the ULD/Bulk Load Weight Statement
and/or on the Loading Instruction/Report and be checked with the Loadsheet figures.
The tare weight marked on the trolleys/carts shall be periodically checked for validity, especially after
technical modifications have been made.

6.1. Introdaction.
6.1.1 Carriage of payload is performed under a Contract of Air Carriage. Carriage documents include: ticket,
baggage-check and airway bill. For accounting, flight safety decisions and execution of acceptance/delivery of
baggage and cargo the data of carriage documents are inserted in consolidated documents which constitute
supporting documentation (carried by crew in flight).
6.1.2 Carriage management service and balance dispatcher (in compliance with process provided at this
airport) shall prior to departure of a passenger aircraft prepare a Loadsheet and hand it to the crew. The upper
part of the Loadsheet describes the aircraft and the flight, given below are total weights and number of
passengers, mail and cargo and positioning of load throughout baggage and cargo compartments. Last-
minute changes, limit and actual loads are also given. Included in boxes are data which are reported with
LDM to the airport of aircraft landing for preliminary batching of payload. Payload final calculation shall fully
tally the Loadsheet data.
6.1.3 The balance dispatcher of initial and interim airports shall in the process of preliminary and final
payload calculation prepare a Trim Sheet and a Load Instruction and pass them to the crew and the load
dispatcher, respectively. Preliminary payload calculation is performed by the Balance Dispatcher in
accordance with the requirements of Chapter 2
6.1.5 Balance schedule (Loadsheet) is prepared in two counterparts: one for the departure airport, the other
for the crew. Prior to departure the Balance schedule (Loadsheet) shall obligatorily be delivered to the crew at
the aircraft.

CARRIAGE DOCUMENTS Chapter 6
6.1.6 Load Instruction is prepared on the basis of Balance schedule (Loadsheet) data and constitutes a
directive document for the load dispatcher. The Load Instruction is prepared on one copy and is kept at the
airport of departure.
The Load Instruction provides visualized information about the distribution of baggage, mail and cargo
throughout aircraft baggage and cargo compartments, based on which the load dispatcher has the aircraft
loaded. The Load Instruction of a transit aircraft indicated additionally loaded baggage, mail and cargo only.
6.1.7 Amendments to the Balance schedule and the Load Instruction may only be introduced by the balance
dispatcher who prepared them. The co-pilot may amend the “Last minute changes” column only.
Before departure the balance dispatcher shall check the correlation between the Loadshet, the Balance
schedule (Trim Sheet) and the Load Instruction. If the Balance Schedule (Trim Sheet) is prepared by the co-
pilot then he is the only person who may make any amendments to it. If the co-pilot disagrees with the
Balance Schedule (Trim Sheet) prepared by the balance dispatcher amendments may be introduced by the
originator – Balance Dispatcher – only. In case of changes in payload after preliminary calculation it is only the
originator – the balance dispatcher – that may change the Load Instruction. If that is impossible the load
dispatcher registers the final load option in the free field of the same Load Instruction.
6.1.8 Prior to departure from the airport the payload supporting documentation includes baggage,
mail/cargo and load sheets, trim sheet, mail and airway bills of this airport and airports of previous landings.
60.1.9 All flight supporting documentation shall be kept in special storage facilities for at least 1 year.
