aircraft loading

Aircraft loading involves carefully arranging passengers, cargo, and luggage to ensure the plane’s weight is balanced and within design limits. Proper distribution of weight, including placing heavier items lower and towards the center, maintains stability during flight and prevents undue stress on the structure. Load planning also accounts for weight distribution to optimize fuel efficiency and safety. Ground crews use specialized equipment and plans to load the aircraft systematically, ensuring that the weight is evenly distributed, and all items are secured. This process is essential for safe and efficient flight operations.
