ED Decision 2025/008/R
LOADING INSTRUCTIONS/REPORT (LIR)
(a) The loading instructions document (also called ‘loading instructions/report’ or ‘LIR’) is generated for the purpose of providing support to the person supervising the aircraft loading in order to facilitate this activity and ensure that the load distribution and aircraft loading are completed as per the instructions.
(b) The loading instructions contain information about the maximum mass of items that may be loaded in each cargo compartment and instructions for the safe and optimal distribution of items to be loaded in the cargo compartments, along with the cargo segregation rules.
(c) The LIR may be part of an existing mass and balance document or a separate form.
(d) Usually, the signature on the LIR of the person responsible for loading supervision is the confirmation that the aircraft has been loaded in accordance with the loading instructions. The function of this signed document is to serve as a report. A signed copy of the LIR is retained on the ground.
