AN APPROACH TO THE LOADING OF TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT

摘要

The approach proposed in this paper concentrates on limiting the main potential sources of inefficient loading. That is, rather than seek the most efficient loading of a given set of equipment on a given fleet of aircraft;the procedure set forth here will avoid gross inefficiencies and thus reasonably approximate the most efficient loading. The first step in such an approach is to review the loadings accomplished by other simulators and by loadmasters in order to identify systematic inefficiencies due to aircraft and equipment characteristics. That is the purpose of this paper. The review suggests several specific ways in which loading might be improved and provides a set of factors to consider in selecting the order in which to load equipment.
