2 Horizon Weight & Balance Horizon Weight & Balance SITA s tool for efficient, safe and costeffective load planning enables airlines and ground handlers to achieve optimal aircraft weight distribution and maximize revenues. Based on scalable, open systems it s been carefully designed to help customers tackle the top three challenges experienced during aircraft turnaround.

3 Horizon Weight & Balance 1 Improve agent efficiency Airlines want to enable agents to optimize the available cargo space and to turn around aircraft as quickly and efficiently as possible. With Horizon Weight & Balance, you can give agents the tools they need to improve their productivity and increase operational efficiency. Results: time and cost savings Minimizes staff training Agents can manage more than one flight Centralized handling of multiple flights, departures and airlines Uses business rules, plans and processes to automate updates Agents have more time to concentrate on complex tasks. How it works: simplicity rules The intuitiveness of the graphical user interface (GUI) is key to helping agents work more productively. User-friendly, drag-and- drop functionality instantly shows how loading affects the aircraft s aft s center of gravity. and-services/products/weight-balance

4 2 Load aircraft safely Incorrect or unsafe loading can create an imbalance and affects the way an aircraft handles or performs. As a result, it can reduce cruising speed and range, compromise maneuverability and impose excessive loads on landing gear. How it works: Results: safety first safety, performance and control Horizon Weight & Balance ensures aircraft comply with Better take-off and safety standards and are landing performance not dispatched in adverse Less wear and tear conditions. When the system on aircraft detects unsafe conditions, it Safer control and shows an alert and prevents a maneuverability. load sheet from being issued.

5 Horizon Weight & Balance 3 Lower fuel costs According to IATA, fuel costs account for 27% on average of an airline s operating expenses. How it works: Results: lower fuel costs higher performance, lower fuel costs With a complete view of the aircraft cargo, agents are Saves up to 1% of total shown the ideal trim zone. fuel costs by optimizing By loading near the aft center load distribution of gravity, the aircraft can Increases stability fly at a lower angle, which Improves take-off and reduces drag. landing performance Helps to reduce carbon emissions.
