Passenger: Yes, we did.
Check In Clerk: Here are your boarding cards. I have attached your hand baggage counterfoil to your ticket. You are in seats 10A and 10B. The flight will commence boarding at 11: 15 from Gate 28. Go through the security check, and it is on your left hand side. Gate 28.

With all of the distractions available to the traveller, it is very easy to lose track of time. The traveller should be aware of the location of the boarding gate and the boarding time printed on the boarding pass. He should listen carefully to the PA announcements made regularly in the departure area. These give information about flight departures. An eye should be kept on the TV monitors in the departure area which also provide information to the traveller.
When boarding is announced, passengers should gather their hand baggage, duty-free purchases and other belongings and proceed immediately to their departure gate. Boarding passes should be ready for inspection. For convenience, passengers are usually boarded by seat number, starting at the back of the aircraft. This helps reduce congestion in the aircraft aisles. Passengers then proceed down the jetway to the aircraft where they are greeted by members of the cabin crew, their boarding passes again inspected (passengers have been known to board the wrong flight) and directed to their seats.
Having located their seats, passengers should place their baggage, coats and other possessions in the overhead luggage bins or in the space provided under the seat in front. Bags must not be placed on seats, in the aisles or where they might obstruct doors or over-wing exits.
Passengers should familiarize themselves at this point with emergency procedures, the location of emergency equipment, and all exits, especially those nearest one’s seat, listen to the Cabin Crew announcements and read the Emergency Leaflet usually found in the seat pocket in the back of the seat in front, note the location of the life-jacket and how the emergency over-wing exit is opened, especially when sitting beside it.
Having done all this, passengers should sit back, relax and prepare to enjoy the flight.
Exercise 2.10.2 Answer the questions.
1. What flight does the passenger want to check in?
2. Where are Mr. and Mrs. Ryan going to fly after Cork?

Section 2.11 Aircraft Loading
Exercise 2.11.1 Read and translate the text.
A lot of data is used to produce a load and trim sheet which is given to the pilots prior to departure. The sheet may be produced manually or can be printed from a computer program into which are entered the Dry Operating Weight of the aircraft, the takeoff fuel, the trip fuel, the number of male, female, child and infant passengers (usually calculated at standard weights) and the weight of their bags and any freight carried. There is also an area set aside for Last Minute Changes. From this information the ZFW, TOW and LW are calculated.
Loaders are rostered to work on a flight in a predetermined group or “crew”. The number of loaders assigned to each crew is usually calculated according to the size of the aircraft and the amount of work required. In very general terms, three men will handle 100 kg per minute when bulk loading, that is, loading loose freight, mails and baggage. On larger aircraft cargo is often pre-loaded onto pallets or igloos which can then be placed into the aircraft holds by specially designed machines.
The loaders are supplied with a “load plan”. This is prepared by the Load Control and Planning Office. It specifies the amount of baggage, freight and mail expected and the aircraft holds into which they must be placed. Any deviation from the plan is advised to the Load Planners who will incorporate the changes into the Load sheet. Loaders are required to count the number of pieces loaded as a cross check against the manifest of freight, mails and baggage checked in.

Section 2.13 Pre-Departure Inspection
Exercise 2.13.1 Read and translate the text.
The PDI or Walk Round Inspection is carried out before every flight. While it is often carried out by the Co-Pilot, the check may be completed by any qualified member of the cockpit crew. It is an opportunity to identify potential problems before they arise as even quite minor problems can become significant in certain circumstances. For example an intermittent fault of a system may require extensive troubleshooting and cause the aircraft to become downgraded until it is rectified.
