Explanation:
The system will display a full page of all the numbers used, in numeric order. If any number is not
used, it is omitted from the list. It also gives the Airline, the aircraft type and version. The last column
gives the Master class (plus any equivalent classes) and the number of seats in that class. To move
to the next page, enter PN (or NP) after the cursor position.
It is possible to start a display from a specific CND number. The entry is:
CND:R/NUMBER
1
CND:R/78
Explanation:
Field Explanation
REG # Aircraft registration or tail number. The system puts the aircraft in order of fleet and
date but not in alphabetical order. It is possible to have the same registration
entered twice with different effective dates.
DATE Date the aircraft registration became or becomes effective. Therefore it is possible
to create an aircraft registration in advance of its scheduled start of operation by
entering the advance effective date. This prevents using this registration before the
valid date. It is also possible to have the same aircraft registration entered with
different effective dates in the case where a known aircraft data change for that
aircraft will take effect on a specified date.
Note: When an aircraft registration is initially created, the year is left off the date.
This is added by the system during the 'nightly computer run' (this is activated every
night), when the system removes all unwanted records, and executes other
transactions.

SYSTEM ERROR There is something wrong with this entry, either re-check the data
or contact SITA DCS Customer Support.
This does not mean the flight will be created for LDP as the information sent has to meet certain
criteria such as correct aircraft registration used or ETD is within 24 hours. Also this transaction may
take longer to complete because the entry creates an ASM message which the system sends
internally to the LDP application.

Row Explanation
1.1 CREW. Any crew changes are entered here, and providing the corresponding crew complement is found
on the LADD:REGISTRATION/CREW, their weight and index adjustment is added to the DOW/DOI. The
first figure is for pilots, the second is for cabin crew, and the third is for any extra crew checked-in with
the code XXXCREW in check-in. XXXCREW only shows here after the CCL. The XXXCREW figure
adds the passenger weight to the OEW-ADJ /INDEX field and update the DRY OPERATION WT /
INDEX.
Note: If there is a change to the cockpit crew and the screen is inadvertently transmitted in
the empty field before the cabin crew figure, the system converts the cabin crew figure to 0
(zero) so be careful when updating this field.
If a crew change is entered on the LODD screen that does not correspond to the crew details on the
LADD/CREW screen, the system responds with a warning 'CREW NBRS DO NOT MATCH A/C
DATABASE'.
J/S. Names of up to four Jump Seat Passengers. These names must not be entered as JMP
passengers in the CKI application because the weight is processed differently. Here the
weight is added to the Dry Operating Weight / Index and in CKI the weight is included in the
Total Passenger Weight of the COM message. If the J/S passenger is entered in both
systems the weights would be doubled. See Section 11.5.
The response "JUMP SEAT COUNT EXCEEDS AIRCRAFT MAX" is returned if the J/S amount is more
than the number of service seats shown on the LADD:CERT screen.
2.2 CONF. Aircraft configuration is entered by the system.
CPM. Free format entry for the configuration code used in the CPM and LPM messages.
OTH. Whatever is displayed here is printed on the load sheet. It is a free format line so it is possible to
over-write the configuration with any specific airline configuration code as defined by the User.
3.3 Any entries on the LADD:REGISTRATION/EQUP screen are displayed here. If:
Y is entered, the weight and index of the selected item is added to the DOW/DOI.
N is displayed, the system ignores it.
4.4 It is possible to manually enter any weight and index with a description of a specific item not displayed
above.
5.5 BASIC WGT / DRY OPERATION WGT. The Basic Weight displayed here is actually the operating
weight, without crew or catering, for Basic weight carriers, and the operating weight, including crew and
catering, for DOW carriers. The Dry Operation weight is for any further adjustments such as crew and
catering for Basic weight carriers. It is possible to have the same figure displayed for Basic weight and
Dry Operation weight for DOW carriers if there are no adjustments.
The agent can change the BASIC WT and INDEX when the fields have underlines.
6.6 ADJ. +/- values used to adjust maximum TOW. These adjustments are the limiting value in the
remaining fields on this screen. This is a conditional parameter from PARAM1.
Reason. Displays with ADJ field. Enter the reason for the adjustment value in the ADJ field.
7.7 PWR FLAP. Not used.
DECK VERSION. Normally the LALD (automatic load planning) transaction for non-containerized aircraft
selects the most suitable deck version and displays the selected deck version number here. It is possible
to select a specific deck version for LALD by entering the required deck version number here.
8.8 ATOGW / A-LND-WT. Any restrictive adjustments to the take-off weight (TOW), or landing weight (LND-
WT), which must not be above the aircraft maximum (as entered on the CERT screen), can be entered
here.
9.9 MODE. Fuel management mode. STD indicates standard fuel loading and ALT indicates alternate fuel
loading.
CLIMB. Conditional parameter.
10.10 OTH LIMIT. Conditional parameter.
LND-FLAP. The setting of the landing flap.

Explanation:
If a Y is entered beside LFSD, the system displays the LFSD screen requested after the transmit key
is pressed.
If the flight is Non-Gender, then A (adults) will be displayed in place of M and F. C and I provide the
Child and Infant passenger counts, and T designates the Transit passenger count. The AVG PSGR
WGT is used when there is no interface between LDP and CKI. When LDP is interfaced with CKI, the
passenger figures are added to this screen. In this case the only item that can be changed is the
AVERAGE BAGGAGE WGT for load planning, and any change to this item is displayed on the
LPAD:FLIGHT/DATE/PAX3 screen.
If the flight is not connected to check in, then a field ALT_WGTS displays next to GENDER. This is
followed by Y or N to indicate if passenger weights are modified from the standard weight.
The COMPARTMENT CAPACITY is the maximum number of seats in each cabin zone.
The COMPARTMENT COUNT is the actual cabin seating of the checked-in passengers from the CKI
seat map. The COMPARTMENT COUNT includes transit passengers updated via the SOM.
The COMPARTMENT DISTR is the computer suggested trim for passengers. The COMPARTMENT
DIST includes transit passenger updated via the LDM.
TOTALS 24

Explanation:
The BAG WEIGHT is split into three groups. The PREFERD bag is the amount of baggage for the
class defined on PARAM1 for PREFERRED CLASS and is for the first class bag container on non-
containerized aircraft (if no class is defined here then all the baggage apart from TRANSFR goes to
OTHER). The TRANSFR bag is the amount of baggage for passengers in any class who are
transferring onto another flight at the transfer point of this flight. OTHER is the remainder of the
baggage not included in either PREFERD or TRANSFR.
If connected to check-in the shows the number of booked passengers that have not checked in.
Note: If the bag weight has to be changed, once a flight has CLOSED for both CKI and LDP, the new
bag weight should be entered under 'ACTWGT' on the LPAD:FLIGHT/DATE/CGO screen and not
here.
Explanation:
If the estimated bag weights do not appear, it is possible to enter some estimated bag weights by
displaying the LPAD:FLIGHT/DATE/PAX screen and changing the AVERAGE BAG WGT. Then
transmit from the bottom of the screen with the weight entered. Check the PAX3 screen again and the
estimated bag weight should now be displayed.
Note: If the estimated baggage does not appear on the LPAD/PAX3 screen check the following:
Is it a transit flight? If the station attempting to get the estimated baggage is not the first station on the
routing, it is not possible to display the estimated baggage.
Is the flight connected to CKI? If not, the estimated baggage has to be manually added, as
transmitting of LPAD/PAX screen will not work in this condition.
What CW table has been used for this flight? Ensure the planning weight (the figure after the date) is
higher than the average Passenger or Male weight.
What is the estimated ZFW weight on the flight? If the estimated ZFW is less than the first (minimum)
figures entered on the LADD/COGS or COG2 screen, this will cause the problem. Amend these
screens to the aircraft BW or DOW weight and everything should work correctly.
As passengers check-in, the passenger and baggage figures transfer from the PAX3 screen to the
PAX2 screen. This enables the load control agent to see how many passengers and baggage are
checked-in, and how many are left to check-in, at any time during the flight LPAD(CGO1).
If this transaction is attempted before any fuel is entered on the LFFD:Flight/Date screen or there is
unallocated payload on the LPAD:Flight/date screen then the response is either ‘NO TRIP FUEL’ or
‘UNALLOCATTED PAYLOAD’. The load control agent must first enter the fuel and/or payload details
before requesting the display.

The agent has to manually plan the trim, and can check the result on the LPDD:FLIGHT/DATE screen.
If the required trim is achieved, then a loading instruction can be issued. The actual cargo and mail
figures are entered under ESTWT and ACTWT. If the flight is interfaced with CKI, the actual bag
figures appear under ACTWT.
Any restricted cargo codes are entered under RESTRICT CARGO codes but only the code is entered
not the weight. There is a maximum entry of five restricted cargo codes per line.
The following table displays the restricted codes that can be entered. The last column (ID) indicates
the information required when entering the details for the LDM on the LMSD:FLIGHT/DATE/LLDM
screen in IATA format.
H Hold position only.
H/W Hold position and weight.

Field Explanation
BULK Volume (not weight) expected to be utilized in the BULK hold of the aircraft.
WEIGHT Allotted weight of cargo or mail for this flight.
TP/MP/SP Types of pallets (tall, medium, short) that are allotted for this flight. Normally tall or medium pallets
are only fitted on Main deck version aircraft; therefore only short pallets can be utilized for Lower
deck versions.
CNTR Number of containers allotted for cargo or mail on this flight.
EMPTY Use if there are empty pallets or containers.
Once the figures have been entered on this screen, the system can create a provisional automatic
load plan. Later on, once the actual figures for cargo and mail are known, then these should be
entered on the LPAD:FLIGHT/DATE/CGO screen, and the LALD transaction re-run.
Explanation:
The pallet or container contains information concerning the destination (JFK), the contents (C = Cargo,
M = Mail, X = Empty, B = Baggage, FB = First Class Baggage, TB = Transfer Baggage, S = Sort
Container), the weight of the contents, the ULD type (LD3 for container, P1P for pallet, etc.), the serial

followed by the number (1 to 5) of the address required (Example LOA1).
EX (EXIT) Exits the ALD program (but does not release the program) so that the agent can
access other displays and can return to this same program by just entering 'LALD:'
(flight number is not required).
The response to ►LUPD:EX is 'PAGING PROGRAM TERMINATED'.
Note: EX or DEL must be entered before moving to another screen.
DEL (DELETE) It is very important that once ALD has been completed, that the program is
released correctly, otherwise DCS receives system errors if too many LALD
programs are left unreleased in the system. The entry is:
►LUPD:DEL
The response is 'PAGING PROGRAM TERMINATED - PAGE FILE RELEASED'.

The ALLOWED TAKE-OFF weight for ZFW is 137758, for TOW is 156489, and for LANDING is
140298. This shows that ZFW is the lowest and is the limit which restricts this flight. ZFW is displayed
as the TOGW on the LFSD display, and the restricted maximum weight is displayed as 137758. The
maximum payload is the maximum allowed take-off weight of 137758 minus the operating weight of
105600, leaving the figure of 32158. The underload on the flight is calculated by subtracting the
estimated payload from the maximum payload.

Note: When the load sheet print request is made through the LFSD or LLSP entries, the current
responses to the screen still apply. The warning message is not displayed on the screen, it is only
printed on the load sheet.
If the ‘SPECIAL TEXT ON L/S’ is set to ‘Y’ on the ‘LLAL:Airline/PARAM1’ screen, the following
special text message prints on the load sheet under the ‘Captain’s Information’ field. If the flight is not
connected to check-in, and the parameter is set to print the warning message, then the special text

Response:
XS FLIGHT NUMBER 0109 DELETED
It is possible to re-create this flight again either by entering the registration via the FUI
(FUI:FLT/DATE/STN/ARN/REGISTRATION) and DPT: transactions, or through the
LCFD:FLIGHT/DATE transaction. If the flight is already created in check-in and the new LDP flight
matches the details (routing, aircraft type, and configuration), then the LDP flight will pick-up all the
check-in details again, even if the flight was half-way through check-in. However all the payload
details (cargo, mail etc.), and fuel details (unless the HISTORY record is used) will have to be re-
entered and a new load distribution planned.
Error Response
Response Explanation
DISPLAY/UPDATE NOT ALLOWED User not authorized to display the entry for another station.
It is possible to enter the weight and row number here but not to indicate the type of cargo (cargo or
mail etc.) or specific seat. The weight and the index (system knows the index from the row specified)
are included in weight and balance calculations. There is no link between LDP and CKI regarding the
rows used, so the load control agent must make sure check-in blocks the required seats (X) on the
seat map, to ensure passengers are not seated in the occupied cargo seats. The T specified after the
row number specifies this is a transit flight and this row was occupied by cargo at a previous station.
Once a SOM is received, it is possible for the system to accept another corrected SOM (by inserting a
line above SOM and adding the word COR) for any amendments to the original figures. It is also
possible to enter the corrections manually by using the BX transaction in CKI, and any changes are
included in the LPAD:FLT/DATE/PAX screen.
Note: If a BX transaction is done before the SOM is received into the system, the SOM is rejected,
and the remaining transit seats will be blocked by the BX transaction.
The system keeps a record of any SOMs received (in correct format). These can be displayed by
entering 'MD:SOM/FLIGHT/DATE/CITY'. A SOM received in error is rejected to the KS queue of the
Host's DCS Office Queues. A correct SOM goes to the KS queue but will show 'SOM ACCEPTED'
without additional details.
LDM
The LDM (LoaD Message) is a message that enters the transit passenger totals (gender and class)
onto the LPAD:FLT/DATE/PAX1 screen.
LPM
The LPM (Load Planning Message) is a message that enters the transit load details onto the
LPAD:FLT/DATE/CGO screen.
The 'T' displayed at the end of the TYPE (C, M, B, etc.) indicates the 'THRU' (or TRANSIT) load.
The system only keeps a record of any rejected LPMS received in incorrect format by placing them on
the LE queue of the Host's DCS office queues. If a LPM has been successfully loaded onto the flight,
then any copy of it gets erased from the system.
Note: If passengers and baggage are checked-in at the transit station before the LPM has been
received, the transit baggage (B) items are rejected from the LPAD:FLT/DATE/CGO screen, and will
have to be manually added.

GG Number of ID passengers including infants, followed by total number of infants.
B Weight of baggage.
C Weight of Cargo.
M Weight of Mail.
Explanation:
Field Explanation
CREW 2_8 2 Two Pilots, eight Cabin crew, and two Extra crew.
OEW-ADJ 146 Additional weight and index adjustment of the two extra crew. The weight comes from the
INDEX -0.4 standard passenger weights used at check-in. The index is calculated using the arm effect
for the row they are seated in.
DRY OPERATION These figures include the extra crew adjustment.
WT/IDX
If extra crew is checked-in using a different code (or their own names), then they will be included in the
normal passenger details, and will not appear on the LODD screen. In this case it is not necessary for
the load control agent to be aware of them as they will already be included in all the weight and
balance calculations.
If the extra crew are not using passenger seats, but are traveling on the flight, then it is possible to
amend the Pilot/Cabin crew figures directly on the LODD screen, and providing the system finds the
matching crew figures on the LADD:REGISTRATION/CREW screen. The DOW/DOI will be adjusted.
This screen can be useful if trying to check any discrepancies between seats occupied (or even to
check rows built in the LDP database compared to the seat numbers built on the seat map) in check-in
and LDP. It is a display only and no changes can be made to this screen.
This is an acceptable precautionary response because baggage is being added manually to the new
flight.
If Bulk Recheck is not done prior to the LCOP: transaction, the total bag weight is still shown on the
original flight's LPAD:/CGO1 screen, (even though the bag weight has been copied to the new flight),
until the passengers are moved with the BRC: check-in transaction.

Field Explanation
AD Actual Departure time. The first field is for the date, followed by the OFF-BLOCKS time in hours
and minutes. The following field is for the date and AIRBORNE time in hours and minutes. If the
date is not entered, the response is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA ENTERED'.
FT Flying Time. The estimated flying time entered allows the system to give an estimated arrival time
to the next station from the actual departure time entered. This is a mandatory entry. If left blank
the response is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA ENTERED'.
DL Delay codes and duration. The first two fields contain the reason codes. Only a maximum of two
reason codes can be specified. If there are more than two, enter the two main delay codes. The
last two fields are for the duration of the delay in hours and minutes. The reason codes can be
alpha or numeric characters.
PX Passengers. This field is a free format area and is for entering the total number of passengers on
board.
Field Explanation
AA Actual Arrival time. The first field is the date, followed by the TOUCH DOWN time in hours
and minutes. The following field is for the date and ON-BLOCKS time in hours and
minutes. If the date is not entered, the response is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA ENTERED'.

SI Supplementary Information. This is a free format area available for up to 60 characters. Each
reason code has its own SI field. It is important the correct reason code is input on the header
entry; otherwise the wrong SI information will be dispatched on the wrong MVT message.
Field Explanation
ADDRESS Normally the MVT addresses are entered on the LAID screen for the specified station. However
it is possible to add extra addresses (maximum of 16) just for this particular flight and reason
code. It is important the correct reason code is input on the header entry, otherwise the wrong
MVT information message may be transmitted to the specified addresses.

INSUFFICIENT DATA ENTERED MVT can not be processed as one or more fields are
missing.
MSG NOT ALLOWED ON OPEN FLT Flight must be closed for this type of message.
SELECT ED OR NI FIELDS ED or NI data fields are missing for this type of message.
The LLDM, LLPM, LCPM, LUCM and LSLS messages can now be sent to a teletype or ZZ address.
Example:
LLDM:FLT/DATE/ATL/ATLZZXS
The MVT message cannot be sent using this procedure.
If the flight is a multi-sector flight, it is possible to manually dispatch the messages only for a specific
downline station if required.
LLDM:FLIGHT/DATE/ORIGINATING STN/SPECIFIC DESTINATION
Note: If the station is the final station of the flight, the message goes to the addresses specified on the
LAID screen for this station, with the types A, F, or E. If it is not the final destination, it will only send
the message to the addresses specified by type A.
1 LAID: Screen
IATA CODE:ATL AIRLINE:XS MECH IND: CKI Y LDP Y
Explanation:
Field Explanation
MECH IND: CKI Y LDP Y Indicates whether this station is automated (a mechanized station using
the SITA DCS system of the Host Airline). If SITA DCS of the host
airline is not being used the indicators should show CKI N and LDP N.
Defaults to Y (Yes).
Note: If these indicators have been incorrectly set, and have been
amended after a flight has already been created, the best way to get the
system to pick-up the correct details is to cancel the flight
(LFIX:FLIGHT/DATE/CNCL), and recreate it by entering the aircraft
registration via FUI and entering the DPT: transaction again, or creating
the flight by using the LCFD transaction. The system will then pick up
the correct information.
LOAD SHEET ADDRESS Not required as the loadsheet printing is associated with the printer PID entered
on the CONLINK FILE of the CRT requesting the loadsheet. However it is
possible to send a loadsheet via Teletype (perhaps for sending a copy of a
loadsheet to a handled carrier for approval) by entering a valid (seven letter)
telex address code here. Be careful if entering an address, as every time a
loadsheet is requested, a copy will also go to the this address.
The same applies to FUEL SHEET, LOAD INSTR (loading instruction) and
EZFW addresses. These do not need to be entered unless they are really
required to be sent to a Teletype address.
A 'MSG WAIT' appears on the CRT, and the report is displayed by transmitting the 'MSG WAIT' key.
Note: The response can take longer than normal (depending on the history report entered), because
the system has to go through all the records to get the required information.
