When and where is PB loaded?

Loading the PB, or passenger boarding, is typically done last and positioned closest to or in a doorway. This practice is essential for efficient boarding and disembarking of passengers. Placing the PB near the doorway allows for quick and organized access for passengers once the plane arrives at the gate.

Loading PB last helps in maintaining the overall balance and weight distribution of the aircraft during loading. When the PB is located near the entry point, it minimizes the distance passengers have to travel, enhancing the boarding flow and reducing the time taken for boarding and deplaning. This approach also helps in managing space effectively, ensuring that items are secured correctly during both loading and flight.

Positioning it near the doorway also prevents obstruction to the aisles and ensures that crew members can perform their safety checks unrestricted. This method complies with best practices in aviation operations, focusing on safety, efficiency, and overall passenger experience.
