    Flight Management User Guide Page 33

    non-premium baggage being given a priority tag and counted by ramp as BC but accepted as BY. Also

    not all bags make the flight they are meant to be on which is why there are such bags as Rush Bags,

    so these variation need to be accounted for by the load controller.

    The variations can only be done when Acceptance is finalized (AF), and as a general rule the variation

    can only be done on the baggage Rest location.

    This container of BY in 12R is the Rest container (R) and there are actually only 18 bags…. 

    The Load controller received a message advising of the Baggage Variation. Baggage Variation can be

    checked in the Traffic Load Screen which is navigated to from the Traffic hyperlink on the Flight

    Information Screen.

    This is the error the load controller will see if the setting forces the load controller to acknowledge

    the baggage variation.

    15 Send Final Loadsheet DependenciesThis activity failed due the dependency of the Load Control Status being LF not LO, LC or LL, the Fuel

    Status being Final not Historical or Provisional and the Acceptance Status being AF not AO, AG, or

    AC.

    The Load Control Status needs to be changed from Load Control Closed (LC) to Load Control

    Finalized (LF). LF is achieved by Ramp clearing all the hold locations.
