2) Cargo
3) Mail
In case of a multi-sector flight, at a transit station, the load planner has to prepare off-loading instructions (LIR(1)) from the incoming messages (CPM/LDM(1)). Loading agents must check cargo and mail against these instructions, and any irregularity or discrepancy with the document must be reported, at transit airport loading agents have to check all that must be off-loaded is off-loaded, and that transit shipment is at the right place.
An inspection of the shipment allows determining the presence of damaged or leaking packages. In case of leakage, the source must be identified and the compartment in which leaking goods were transported must be inspected for contamination.

LOADING LOADING
A. LOADING GENERALITIES
5. LOADING LIMITATIONS
5.1. Structural limitations and floor panel limitations
5.1.1. Introduction
Aircraft have a flexible structure. In addition to their natural contortion in flight, the repartition and the quantity of load transported have an influence on the fuselage deformation. Therefore, Airbus has defined structural loading limitations that the operator must respect. These limitations are certified by airworthiness authorities and can be found in the —Limitations“ section of the Weight and Balance Manual. They follow IATA AHM 513 recommendations.
5.1.2. Structural limitations
a) Running (Linear) Load Limitation
.
Definition: The running load limitation is the maximum load acceptable on any givenfuselage length of an aircraft floor.
.
Unit: kg/m or lb/ft
Weight of the piece W
Running Load ==
Length of the piece in the flight direction L
The length to take into account is the length of the contact points on the floor.
. Example: Let’s assume a Maximum Running Load of 2000 kg/m
Example 1
Flight direction 870
Running load = = 725 kg/m < 2000 kg/m
1.2 Max weight = 2000 x 1.2 = 2 400 kg > 870 kg
1.2 m
Example 2
1.2 m
Running load not exceeded
Flight direction 870
Running load = = 2175 kg/m > 2000 kg/m
0.4 Max weight = 2000 x 0.4 = 800 kg < 870 kg
0.2 m 0.2 m
Running load exceeded
A. LOADING GENERALITIES
b) Area load limitation
. Definition: The area load limitation is the maximum load acceptable on any surface unit of an aircraft floor. It prevents the load from exceeding the capability of the aircraftstructure (floor beams, floor posts, floor panels and frames).
