1. Purpose
- To define sequences of events and responsibilities to ensure that necessary precaution are taken
and relevant instructions and regulations are followed during CLC (Centralized Load Control)
Process
- To define necessary back-up procedures.
2. Scope
The procedure applies to all Norwegians Schedules flights operated by B787 and wet leased aircraft for
Longhaul operation.
4. Help Desk
Handling agents will primarily use Altea FM to perform a ramp release to confirm the final loading of the
aircraft to CLC. If the handling agent encounters problems during the ramp release process they must
contact CLC for assistance, preferably by using the Altea Messenger.
If the CLC encounters system outages or critical system errors with Altea FM, they should first contact
their local service provider to confirm whether it is a local issue, for example with the network
connectivity from CLC to Amadeus.
If the issue is confirmed not to be local, CLC must escalate the problem to Norwegian IT Support as soon
as possible using the following contact information:
Norwegian IT Support - Phone: +47 21 49 31 00
When contacting Norwegian IT Support, CLC must provide a description of the problem with as much
detail as possible. Norwegian IT Support will then create an IR Report to Amadeus. Norwegian IT Support
will follow up with Amadeus until normal system behavior has been restored and confirm to CLC that
regular operations can resume. Norwegian IT Support will not provide functional support for Altea FM.

Ramp GUI Messenger can also be used for CM issues (passenger service) in connection with the load
control process and communication relay between CLC and ground handling at OS and v.v.
CLC may contact Commander directly through ACARS if applicable free messages and v.v. otherwise by
telephone.
When the messenger is not feasible for the kind of communication e-mail may be used any time.
Telephone should be avoided as far as practical and only in urgent time critical cases a call to/from CLC
should be made.
Registration, Crew configuration, Block fuel, Taxi fuel, Trip fuel and actual Fuel Density are mandatory
FM fuel entries for CLC. Additionally changes to potable water level, RTOW, RZFW or RLDW when
applicable are required for correct weight calculations.
Handling agent is to hand over Final Fuel document sheet to Commander at gate –90 min STD/ETD with
actual Fuel Density and EZFW if needed. You will find the EZFW information if you tick ZFW in the Load
Control screen in Altea FM.

Final Ramp Clearance shall be done at load control status LC and acceptance status finalized (AF) only.
Ramp cleared positions/compartments are indicated in grey and Ramp status changes to finalized (RF)
when the final ramp clearance has been applied.
If you need to do Baggage Variations this has to be done in the Rest compartment (normally cpt. 5) after
all other positions has been Ramp Cleared and Acceptance Status Finalized (AF):
Baggage variation must only be used to remove/reduce the number checked in baggage when no show.
All bags carried in the hold must be registered in the customer’s record and appropriate to the flight.

Adjustments within limits are possible without approval of CLC (load control status remains LC),
larger adjustments need re-approval of CLC (load control status changes to LL) and ramp clearance is not
possible. CLC must then re-approve distribution (load control status changes back to LC) and ramp can be
cleared. The limit for doing adjustments is +/- 1000 kg.
Pressing F5 will always update your screen (Also to be used when the message Simultaneous update
occurs).
For any additional load, where no commodity has been planned, the handling agent must inform CLC
with details of load and request load to be included in load distribution (when already ramp cleared,
status will change from RF to RO and ramp clearance must be applied again). Depending of situation, this
might requires a new edition of LIR.
Any larger deviation/changes has to be checked with CLC and a new LIR will be issued when required.
If the link between CM and FM has to be broken then Baggage Variations is not possible, if variations
exist, CLC has to be notified.
When all the holds are cleared the Ramp Agent has to confirm Ramp Clearance by typing Password.

Handling Agent at origin station must report to Loadcontroller and Maintenance as soon as possible
when an unservicable lock is verified. The following information must be sent to loadcontroller:
Aircraft subtype
Aircraft registration
The ULD position on the aircraft - e.g. 13P
The location of the lock(s) - fwd or aft and lock number – e.g. FWD lock no 2
If possible, maintenance should be able to give exact name/description (e.g. SP401,9-4 INOP)
Loadcontroller will set reported locks to unserviceable in weight and balance system for specific flight
and registration.
Weight and balance system will automatically restrict the weight allowed.
18. Wetlease
When a flight is operate by wetleased aircraft and the subtype not approved for automated Loadsheet in
Altea FM, Loading Instruction Report and Loadsheet must be done manually by the pilots.
The same applies if the flight is approved for automated Loadsheet but for some reason Loadsheet is not
completed in Altea FM.
The departing station must send manual LDM and CPM after departure.
Correct addresses can be found in Altea FM, Documents for applicable origin/destination.
All serial number for the ULDs used on this flight must be sent as a mail to dyuldmanager@air-
dispatch.com and booking@norwegiancargo.com. The ULDs will be moved manually in the ULD
