Loading system and method for loading a cargo hold of an aircraft
First Claim
1. Loading system for loading a cargo hold of an aircraft, containers, pallets or like unit load devices (ULDs) for accommodating freight being introduced into the cargo hold through an access opening, being transported by means of transport devices and being fastened in transport positions, wherein a cargo control computer is provided, comprising:
- identification devices connected to the ULDs, which identification devices have storage devices for storing first data, especially identification data,at least one first reading device for reading the first data of a ULD introduced into the cargo hold, andat least one first transmitter device for transmitting the first data to at least one first recipient, wherein at least two identification devices are attached to each of the ULDs at a distance from each other.

Abstract
A loading system for loading a cargo hold (2) of an aircraft (1), containers, pallets or like ULDs (20) for accommodating freight being introduced into the cargo hold through an access opening, being transported by means of a transport device (60) and being fastened in transport positions. With the ULDs are identification devices (30), e.g. RFID transponders, which identification devices have storage devices for storing first data, especially identification data. The system comprises at least one first reading device (40) for reading the first data of a ULD introduced into the cargo hold, and at least one first transmitter device (50) for transmitting the first data to at least one first recipient (11).
