Reduce your fuel costs with Ink Load Control

An airline’s fuel costs account for a significant portion of its operating expenses. Even a slight decrease in fuel consumption can have a quantifiable impact on the bottom line. Ink Load Control enables airlines to accurately trim every flight. Fuel burn is reduced by as much as 3% when an aircraft’s Centre of Gravity (CoG) achieves its Ideal Trim.

Ink Load Control helps airlines to position dead load more precisely, ensuring optimal distribution to safely increase uplift capacity and save on fuel.

Achieve faster and safer turnarounds

Balance every flight more quickly and achieve more On-Time departures with precise calculations on passenger numbers and cargo load.

Centralised data ensures that Load Controllers, Pilots and Turnaround Coordinators work from the most accurate, up-to-date information.

AHM updates are rolled across your network in a managed way to eliminate errors that can cause safety incidents or delays.

Digitise your ramp

Give your Load Controllers the ability to safely handle more flights simultaneously with automatic Weight & Balance optimisation. Our intuitive solution runs on any Web-connected tablet.

Increases the productivity of your Load Controllers and Turnaround Coordinators whose expertise can be leveraged across several airports from a central location.

Ink Load Control is ideal for operations of any size. Issue electronic loadsheets into your chosen Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) solution in the cockpit. File signed loadsheets in Head Office before your planes even leave the ground and consign paper loadsheets to history.

Automate CoG calculations

Ink Load Control removes tedium by automating CoG calculations and keeps them within safe limits. Replace error-prone manual loadsheets with software that is easy to implement.

Communicate Last Minute Changes among all relevant ground staff to ensure that all parties are always working with the latest editions of pre-departure documentation.
