What do we mean by safety? The placing and securing of air cargo in the aircraft in a defined manner that protects the aircraft and its systems during flight
Which requires.. Understanding What the aircraft expects Complying with the aircraft Weight and Balance Manual Recognizing that the aircraft has limitations
Risk Financial Risk- cost to airlines of damage and disruptions Commercial Risk- cost to airlines of poor customer service levels Regulatory Risk- cost to airlines of falling foul of the regulators Flight Safety Risk- the ultimate risk
Aircraft Weight and Balance Weight and Balance isn t just about doing the calculations- its about making sure it all stays where its supposed to stay Compliance
What can possibly go wrong?
Accidents 2 Serious Incidents ~ 1 per week Fine Air Flt 101 National Flt 102 Aircraft Tip Aircraft Tail Scrape Load shifts Significant Loadsheet Error Daily Operations ~ 16 per day* Locks Not Raised Nets Not Secure Incorrect Loading Position Incorrect Weights of Cargo / baggage ULDs badly built Load sheet errors
So what goes wrong? ä ä ä ä A random data sample of 1088 reports was broken down into 3 categories of aircraft loading issues: Unsecured Loads: The loads were not secured due to OPS handling, procedures not followed, or faulty equipment. Load Sheet: Errors in the load sheet for departure due to load sheet preparation procedures not being followed. Weight / Balance: Undesired change in weight / balance due to documentation errors.
What s moving?
When are the issues being identified? ä ä Found: Errors identified and rectified before the aircraft is pushed back. Escapes: Errors that are found after pushback, mainly on arrival by unloading staff.
Why
Data from the IATA Ground Damage Database ( GDDB) Damage to aircraft
ULD ranked #2
Hold damage
What about the regulators? Fine Air Accident Investigation Report 21.The loaders who loaded the accident airplane were not aware of the potentially catastrophic consequences of misloading the airplane and failing to properly secure cargo, and this contributed to the accident. 22.Formal training is necessary to ensure that cargo handling personnel receive standardized instruction on safety-critical aspects of the loading process.
Detailed guidance into cargo operations One but not the only means of compliance Applies to US carriers and all carriers landing in the US AC 120-85
National Air Cargo A repeat of Fine Air Tribal knowledge being used instead of following the WBM A significant number of common practices are not stated in the WBM
Boeing supplemental procedures to Weight and Balance Control and Loading Manual 44 pages long, 5 specific processes, being continuously updated
Pain points Widespread lack of competence in the ground based cargo process Inadequate and unsupportive airport infrastructure Airlines responsible for flight safety but lack the ability to exert meaningful control Uneven regulatory environment
Fit for Purpose? Establish more procedures? Implement more audits? Treat the damage and near misses as cost/risk of doing business? Pay more for greater safety? Use less outsourcing?
Safe for flight?
Suitable conditions for a piece of aircraft equipment?
Does he understand the safety aspect of his job?
