How are bags and cargo loaded in the planes? As a ramp agent one of the most important duties is to make sure the planes are loaded and unloaded. We are train to load aircraft full of all sorts of cargo in small compartment call Bins. Each aircraft has a certain amount of bin depending on the size and time of plane. each bin is label with numbers to represent the position where the airplane will be loaded. Bin # 1&2 are usually in the front of the aircraft And Bin 3&4 are on the back of the aircraft.in some even where the aircraft is smaller than normal these planes will only have about 2 bins being label Bin # 1 located in the front and bin #2 located in the back of the aircraft. After careful Planning from another department Ramp agent are instructed on what bin to load the bags or cargo to safely have the plane balance.
