THE FLIGHT PLAN

(PART 2)

Performance data may be accessed by performance type, by fleet type or by aircraft registration, allowing precise tailoring of performance data for individual aircraft registrations. Basic performance data include climb, cruise, descent data, and altitude limits.

The operational flight plan combines navigation information, en-route weather data and aircraft performance data, together with planned payload, flight levels, alternates, holding fuel, and other specific details for the flight. It includes the navigation log.

Performance data for flight planning is tailored for each individual aircraft. It includes climb, cruise, and descent data for the trip to destination as well as the alternate routes. It also includes altitude limits, contingency fuels and various constants and default maximum weights, taxi fuel flow, holding time, waypoint details, fuel carriage saving information and many other details essential to the pilot during flight.

The example that follows typifies an airline operational flight plan. It contains features common to all such plans. The actual terms and abbreviations used, their position on the plan and the general lay-out may vary. For example, additional information is provided for long distance and ETOPS flight plans.

There are spaces provided on the plan under the headings AREM, ETA, ATA and FL where the pilot fills in actual navigation and performance details as the flight progresses. The completed flight plan, which is the official record of the progress of the flight, must be retained for inspection for a minimum of six months.

AIRCRAFT LOADING

A lot of data is used to produce a load and trim sheet which is given to the pilots prior to departure. The sheet may be produced manually or can be printed from a computer program into which are entered the Dry Operating Weight of the aircraft, the takeoff fuel, the trip fuel, the number of male, female, child and infant passengers (usually calculated at standard weights) and the weight of their bags and any freight carried. There is also an area set aside for Last Minute Changes. From this information the ZFW, TOW and LW are calculated.

Loaders are rostered to work on a flight in a predetermined group or “crew”. The number of loaders assigned to each crew is usually calculated according to the size of the aircraft and the amount of work required. In very general terms, three men will handle 100 kg per minute when bulk loading, that is, loading loose freight, mails and baggage. On larger aircraft cargo is often pre-loaded onto pallets or igloos which can then be placed into the aircraft holds by specially designed machines.

The loaders are supplied with a “load plan”. This is prepared by the Load Control and Planning Office. It specifies the amount of baggage, freight and mail expected and the aircraft holds into which they must be placed. Any deviation from the plan is advised to the Load Planners who will incorporate the changes into the Load sheet. Loaders are required to count the number of pieces loaded as a cross check against the manifest of freight, mails and baggage checked in.
