15. To prevent aircraft form being hit due to gusty wind or sink after fuelling and loading, 4-6 inches safety clearance between GSE and doorsill should be maintained.

Ref: GOM 6.2.7.5.5

16. Wheel chocks installed on GSE after parking brake set.

(It is recommended to install Steering by-pass pin after aircraft arrival

and on chock.)

17 It is recommended using the stepladder for lower deck compartment doors opening. If use other loading equipment (e.g. high loader or conveyor belt), the guard-railing of loading equipment must be retracted firmly at the lowest position to prevent collision with cargo door during open operation.

Ref: GOM 6.2.9.2 Use 1.Stepladder 2.Loader 3.Conveyor belt 4.Others

a. To load the forward hold first on the lower deck. b. To load forward 8 positions on the main deck. c. To load the rest main deck positions and the rear

hold on the lower deck.

Note: Unloading is in reverse sequence.

Ref: GOM 6.2.10.12.2

20. Special attention for NCD (nose cargo door) unloading: ULD in the rear part of main deck shall be offloaded first from SCD or moved forward to prevent A/C from tail tipping.

Not Applicable

21. ULD airworthiness check:

a. Pallet is properly tagged (included ULD contained Dangerous Goods shipment).

b. Net is well tightened on each pallet.,

c. HEA/BIG shipments are well secured by additional tie-down straps.

Check By :________________

22.. Check ULD serviceability, Cargo compartment, conveying & restraint system and report any irregularity or damage to concerned unit:
