Question 3

B737 LMC

Answer 3

Maximum traffic LMC is 500kg.

maximum fuel LMC is 500 kg.

When applying a passenger LMC, use a standard passenger plus baggage weight of 100 kg. The Qantas Load Authority has approved use of this value for crew entered LMC values only. Different passenger weights, according to route, may be used in formulation of the loadsheet by Load Control.

LMC tolerance allows for 2 pax movement between any seat row.

Movement of a PAX from JS1/JS2/L2A into a cabin seat is permitted in this 2 pax LMC.

Applicable to seat rows 10-18 only: up to 6 passengers may be moved from these specific rows into the overwing exit seats (rows 13-14), or out of the overwing exit seats (13-14) to anywhere between rows 10-18. This allowance is in addition to the 2 passenger LMC which can be used anywhere on the airplane.

Note 1:
Re-positioning of traffic load (e.g. move passengers to different row in the cabin) per the above can be accomplished within the LMC tolerance without a new Final EFF+ or ACARS Loadsheet.
Note 2:
A direct row to row passenger swap anywhere on the airplane is not considered a LMC

Question 4

Livestock

Answer 4

may be carried in either the forward or aft hold on domestic flights of less than 90 minutes duration. The forward hold is the preferred location for livestock.

The aft hold must not be used for livestock on domestic flights of greater than 90 minutes duration.

Livestock must not be loaded in close proximity to dry ice or shipments packed in dry ice. Carriage in the same hold is permitted.

Livestock may not be carried on international services unless Quarantine regulations permit uplift. If uplifted on international services, livestock must be loaded in forward hold only.

Flight Crew must always be advised of the location of livestock.

Question 5

Perishables

Answer 5

Frozen/perishable goods (with or without dry ice) may be carried in either the forward or aft hold on domestic flights of less than 90 minutes duration.

The aft hold is the preferred location for frozen/perishable goods with dry ice.

The forward hold must not be used for frozen/perishable goods without dry ice on domestic flights of greater than 90 minutes duration.

Frozen/Perishable goods must only be loaded in the aft hold for international services.

Flight Crew must always be advised of the location of perishable goods.
