The Load Control officer is responsible for ensuring the safe, accurate, and regulatory-compliant loading of aircraft through effective execution of load control, weight and balance, and related documentation processes. The role supports flight safety by ensuring aircraft loading remains within approved operational limits, that all load data is correctly planned, verified, communicated, and recorded, and that final documentation accurately reflects the actual aircraft configuration prior to departure. Key Responsibilities: Perform load control activities in accordance with IATA AHM, regulatory authority requirements, and company procedures. Ensure aircraft weight and center of gravity are calculated accurately and remain within approved limits for all phases of flight. Produce, verify, and finalize Load Instruction Reports (LIR), loadsheets, trim sheets, and associated documents. Ensure loadsheets reflect actual aircraft loading, including all approved Last Minute Changes (LMCs). Verify Dry Operating Weight/Index (DOW/DOI) against aircraft registration, configuration, and crew complement. Liaise with aircraft loading and unloading supervision teams to ensure loading is executed according to approved instructions. Verify and record final loading figures, including passengers, baggage, cargo, fuel, and special loads. Monitor aircraft ground stability considerations, including tail tipping risk, especially on multi-sector and transit flights. Ensure proper allocation and segregation of dangerous goods and special loads in accordance with NOTOC requirements. Utilize the approved Departure Control System (Amadeus Altéa DCS) for load control and documentation activities. Ensure correct data entry, verification, and traceability using assigned user credentials. Produce and transmit post-departure messages, including Load Departure Messages (LDM), as required. Maintain accurate flight files and ensure document retention in compliance with regulatory and company requirements. Communicate final loading and weight and balance data to the Pilot-in-Command (PIC) in a timely and accurate manner. Coordinate with IOCC, ramp agents, flight dispatch, and flight crew to resolve discrepancies or operational constraints. Ensure all verbal communications related to load control are properly documented and acknowledged. Immediately notify the PIC and relevant departments of any discrepancies discovered after loadsheet issuance. Ensure full compliance with GACA-approved weight and balance programs and Operations Specifications. Adhere to IOSA standards, company policies, and approved operational procedures. Support safety reporting by documenting and escalating any load control irregularities or deviations. Valid Load Control / Weight and Balance qualification in accordance with IATA AHM. Successful completion of operator-approved Load Control and Weight & Balance training. Authorization to operate the approved Departure Control System (Amadeus Altéa). Knowledge of applicable aviation regulations, IATA standards, and company operational manuals. Minimum: 1–3 years of experience in airline load control or flight dispatch, weight and balance or ground operations related to aircraft loading. Preferred: Experience within a commercial airline environment using computerized load control systems, preferably Amadeus Altéa, with direct interaction with flight crews and IOCC.
