Aircraft Load Management System

Aircraft Load Management System

The Aircraft Load Management System (OptaLoad) is a virtualization‑based standalone application or ground‑station module, certified to RTCA‑DO‑278A standards. It runs across platforms and supports fixed‑wing and rotary aircraft. Operators interact via a drag‑and‑drop interface to define load items, compute weight‑and‑balance, shear and bending moments, prepare B‑Forms, and export configurations to onboard avionics or external systems.

Built on the OptaMission Weight‑and‑Balance foundation, OptaLoad is platform‑agnostic through virtualization, solving obsolescence issues and streamlining systems across fleets. It allows load masters to define aircraft configurations from scratch, save template setups, and reuse them for mission‑specific scenarios. Certification to RTCA standards removes manual verification steps, improving reliability and regulatory compliance.

In practice, the Aircraft Load Management System is used by load teams in military transport units, VIP aircraft operations, and rotary wing squadrons. It ensures safe loading by calculating centre‑of‑gravity envelopes, zero‑fuel weight, and take‑off weight. Lashing calculations and the ability to write configurations directly to aircraft systems further reduce human error. Load masters leverage stored templates to prepare mission‑ready aircraft swiftly and consistently.

In support of aviation mission efficiency, Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies OptaLoad along with integration, operator training, and sustainment services—helping air operations reduce workload, manage compliance, and standardize load processes across various aircraft types.

Can OptaLoad upload weight‑and‑balance configurations directly into the aircraft’s onboard systems?
Yes, it supports export of validated weight, balance, and lashing data for automatic loading into compatible onboard avionics systems and external planning tools.
