Service · Weight & Balance / AHM 565
IATA's Airport Handling Manual, Edition 47, retires the AHM 560 and installs the AHM 565 and its XML twin, the X565. We take your AHM 560, your Weight & Balance Manual and your LOPA, and return the complete package: the AHM 565, the X565 your DCS loads, and the Loading Schedule Substantiation that proves every figure in them.
Twenty-seven years of building weight & balance systems, from the 707 to the 777, across Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier and more.
The change
The AHM 565 is the data your departure control system runs on: envelopes, curtailments, fuel, cabin, holds, dry operating weight. The X565 is the same data as XML, exchanged between manufacturers, airlines and DCS providers and checked against the IATA schema. Most operators will discover the change at their next DCS audit. Ours receive it as a delivered package.
What we deliver
Substantiation
The Loading Schedule Substantiation records how your loading schedule was built, in the format Boeing uses for its own: data sources, curtailments, operational limits, trim, appendix per registration.
Balance chart
The AHM 519 balance chart and loadsheet come out of the same data as the AHM 565 and the X565: operational envelope, fuel index table, cabin and hold scales, per registration.
Curtailments
On the left, the certified limits exactly as the manufacturer publishes them, per thrust rating. On the right, the operational check grid your load control actually uses: the same envelope curtailed for gear and flap retraction, passenger seating variation, fuel density and usage, cargo and in-flight movement, with the restricted-landing zero fuel check and the DOW plotted inside it.

X565
Every X565 we deliver is checked against the IATA schema, with the open items listed, so your DCS provider receives a file that loads the first time.
Manual, LOPA and weighing report become the loading schedule: curtailed envelope, stabilizer trim, DOW/DOI per crew configuration. The Substantiation records how, page by page.
AHM 565, X565 and Substantiation come out of the same data, so they cannot disagree with each other. The X565 is validated against the IATA schema before delivery.
We reproduce your operation's own loadsheets and put the figures side by side. Matching is the acceptance test, not a promise.
Twenty-seven years, every manufacturer, one standard. We have built weight & balance systems for fleets from the 707 to the 777, Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier and others. Today Fulcrum runs that engineering on the ground and eLila EFB runs it on the flight deck. Keeping your own DCS? We deliver the X565 it loads and the Substantiation that defends it.
One document and one signed loadsheet are enough to come back with your AHM 565, your X565, your Substantiation and a scope for the rest of the fleet.
