The bottom line

About 60% of the work in Prepare to close out flight is information-shaped and increasingly AI-deliverable, with the rest a hybrid of judgment and hands-on work. The automation frontier runs straight through the middle of this role.

Why: With no child occupations seeded, this score relies on the process description, which describes a strong mix of information processing and physical proximity. Tasks like 'estimating payload,' 'determining fuel requirements,' and creating a 'load plan' are heavily digital calculations, while managing dangerous goods and performing the final trim 'at the aircraft side' require physical, on-site coordination, placing this firmly in the hybrid band.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Prepare to close out flight sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Prepare to close out flight inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: Initial estimates for passenger count, baggage, cargo, and fuel requirements are generated prior to aircraft departure.

  1. Estimate total payload including passengers, bags, cargo, and zero fuel weight
  2. Calculate required fuel based on the payload estimates
  3. Draft and sign off on a load plan optimizing weight balance for minimum drag
  4. Verify and manage the loading of any dangerous goods
  5. Conduct a final balance trim at the aircraft side to confirm weight distribution
  6. Transmit the final load and trim documentation to the pilot
  7. Complete system close-out for the flight

Outcome: The final load and balance sheet is signed off and delivered to the pilot, officially closing out the flight for departure.
