LodeStone 2.0 is one of the simplest, quickest and most accurate systems for performing Weight and Balance calculations for commercial passenger aircraft that is available today. Ideal for operations of all kinds, LodeStone is as equally at home in Central Load Control (CLC) facilities as it is in single station installations.
Building on the incredible success of previous versions, LodeStone 2.0 adds powerful productivity features to deliver an even more efficient, cost-effective aircraft weight and balance system than ever before. Already used on over 100,000 commercial flights since being launched, LodeStone will revolutionise your operation.
Whether replacing manual processes, providing weight and balance for airlines without the capability on their own DCS, or even replacing existing, outdated terminal systems, LodeStone is designed to get the job done. Internet browser based, with an easy to use GUI that leads the load controller through the process, training is simple and straightforward.
Perfect for all types of commercial aircraft, LodeStone does away with time consuming manual processes to quickly and accurately produce all the required documentation:
Designed specifically for use on commercial passenger flights, LodeStone supports both bulk loading for narrow bodied aircraft and a containerised mode for wide bodied aircraft, giving excellent results whatever your, or your customer's fleet.
At the heart of LodeStone is a commitment to delivering benefits to all stakeholders. From ground handling companies through to airlines and individual load controllers, LodeStone is designed to provide the tools, features and cost savings the modern operation requires.
Accuracy - Aircraft weight and balance is a safety critical activity, and LodeStone provides immediate visual feedback on limits and exceptions to the operator to ensure safety is never compromised.
Cost - LodeStone is one of the most cost effective airline weight and balance solutions available. With a range of installation options and pricing plans the perfect tailored solution can be found for each client.
Efficiency - Optimal loading and trim settings can ensure maximum flying efficiency for aircraft, helping to reduce fuel burn and C02 emissions.
Ease Of Use - The modern Graphical User Interface greatly simplifies the task of the Load Controller. Simple to learn and easy to operate, LodeStone provides the controller with all the tools required for the job.
You do! LodeStone's fully hosted service puts you in control of the whole process, providing unlimited access to all your operational data. With support for flight schedule importing, live data transfer and built-in tools for AHM 560 aircraft data maintenance, LodeStone streamlines your load control operation.
Great news! If you're already using Damarel's premier passenger check-in and boarding system L-DCS, then LodeStone is fully integrated and ready to go.
No manual re-keying of data is required - all the details for the flight are automatically shared between the systems, increasing speed and eliminating data entry errors. Add LodeStone to your operation today and see the benefits immediately.
We like seeing the trim envelope too, so along with the sliders for RAW, ZFW, TOW and LAW we include a dynamic copy for reference on the main operations screen!
