Introduction

First priority working as a load Controller will always be, SAFETY.

As you are getting acquainted (failiar! wit" TAS load control procedures, you will naturally becoe
efficient and effecti#e.
As a load controller you contribute a great deal to t"e punctuality of our Aircraft.
$ut, %E&E' forget SAFETY "as t"e "ig"est priority.
T"e ECAA require t"at all TAS aircraft "a#e a load s"eet as a docuentation for weig"t, nuber of (souls(

/"en you look at an aircraft, you usually see it fro t"e passenger entrance side, "owe#er fro now on you
ust also get used to look at it fro t"e loader3s side of t"e aircraft.
As a general rule, copartent 9 is in front of t"e wing and copartents 6, B and = be"ind t"e wing.
Copartent 8 is t"e passenger Cabin, used w"en planning Cargo and + or *ail in seat containers (S1C!.
T"e 2oad Controller3s duty is to instruct t"e loading staff w"ere t"e deadload ($aggage, cargo, and *ail!
s"ould be loaded. %he $oading instruction*report for is used for t"is task.
T"e s"aded areas are t"e loading instruction and t"is is your responsibility
