A load control checklist is a critical aviation safety tool that ensures aircraft weight and balance remain within permissible limits. This template provides a systematic approach to verify that your aircraft loading procedures comply with regulatory requirements and operational safety standards. When weight distribution is improperly managed, it can lead to serious flight safety issues.
According to IATA’s Safety Report, loading errors were a significant concern in ground operations, with incidents involving failure to perform proper loading checklists. This template helps you maintain accurate weight calculations, proper cargo distribution, and complete documentation while preventing costly errors and ensuring your flights operate with maximum safety and efficiency. The structured format guides load controllers through each critical verification step, from passenger counts to cargo positioning.
