2. LOADING INSTRUCTION / REPORT (LIR)
2.1. Introduction
This form is a means of communication between the Load Planner and the Loading Supervisor. On the one hand, it allows the Load Planner to give loading and off-loading instructions to the Loading Supervisor, and on the other hand, it allows the Loading Supervisor to know everything about the shipment (nature, distribution, etc…) and to report the loading distribution is effectively performed.
The Loading Instruction / Report form (LIR), is prepared and filled in by the Load Planner once he knows how much load can be transported. To determine this data, the load planner needs information from :
. Passenger booking : to calculate the forecasted passenger weight and
associated
. Baggage weight (number of containers required in case of CLS)
. Dispatch : to know what is the available payload according to the fuel required for
the flight
. Incoming LDM/CPM : to know the cargo distribution and if there is transit
cargo/mail in case of multi-sector flights
. Cargo department : to know if cargo is available for the flight
. Aircraft type : weight limitations, CG limitations, cargo options (ventilation,
heating) Once the load is known, the Load planner determines its distribution into the cargo holds, taking into account several constraints such as Zero Fuel CG position, weight limitations, loading/off-loading rules, incompatibilities, specific loading constraints (dangerous goods, live animals, perishable goods…).

2.2. Manual LIR
The layout of the LIR may vary with aircraft type or with airline, but for all of them, the following information is required, as stated in IATA AHM 515.
A -Heading: Station, Flight number, Aircraft registration, Destination(s), Local date, name of the Load Planner who prepared it.
B - Compartment number and Weight limitations: clearly indicates the weight limitations for each cargo hold.
C -Arrival (for multi-sector flights only): gives details about the incoming loads for intermediate stops. Cargo that must be off-loaded at the transit station may be encircled, but the loading agent knows what he must off-load, since the destination of each load is clearly indicated on the form. Information contained in this section is copied from the incoming CPM for aircraft equipped with ULDs, and from the incoming LDM for others.
