TP-01 – Default = 8 Hours.

Please start pre-condition as early as possible with minimum 8 Hours prior to loading.

Install 100% recharged battery

4 x green LED lights must be shown

Set Temperature = 4 ºC to be retained.

Additional dry ice to be placed in Cargo Compartment subject to ambient temperature.

TP-02 - Default = 1 Hour

Install 100% recharged battery

4 x green LED lights must be shown

Record time for loading, door opened and closed = 7 Min.

Total loading time is estimated to be 1 Hour from Container in place, trolleys, boxes, ovens ready available, placed inside the Container and Aft Doors closed.

Actual time during which the aft doors are opened for loading and storage shall be kept to a minimum in order to avoid loss of temperature controlled airmass within the cargo compartment.

With high ambient temperatures and fully opened doors, a total loss of temperature controlled air within Cargo Compartment will take place in less than 12 Minutes.

TP-03 – Default = 3 Hours - Variable depending upon each departure airport rules.

Total transit and tarmac time incorporate container transfer by truck from Handling Agent facility, trucking, security access and delivery to high loader and transfer to Aircraft on Tarmac.

High loader transfer and loading Container within aircraft cargo hold - exposure to ambient temperature shall be considered for planning

Departure of aircraft - on schedule.

Delays airside not included.

TP-04 – Default = 8 Hours

Storage within forward or aft aircraft cargo hold apply.

Ambient temperature is stable and not exposed to external heat.

Actual ambient temperature ranges can be extracted from TCU Data Log files by calculating period from flight departure to flight arrival for each destination.

Default values used for Dry Ice calculation:

• 12 deg. C for Winter season and

• 20 deg. C for Summer season.

Late flight takeoff not considered.

TP-05 – Default = 4 Hours

Tarmac Operation at destination includes turn around time (TAT) from aircraft arrival at gate, offloading, transfer of Container by high loader from cargo hold to aircraft door, offloading and re-loading of catering trolleys, passenger arrival and aircraft take off.

Upon the opening of the Cargo Hold door, the hold temperature will increase due to the inflow of ambient air.

Example: Accra ambient 34 deg. C, cargo hold 20 deg.C prior to arrival, temperature exchange of 14 deg. C. after door being open.

Short and medium term airside storage on the Tarmac using an ULD Dolley or ULD truck will expose the Container to higher ambient temperature, rain and sunshine

TP-06 – Default = 8 Hours

Storage within forward or aft aircraft cargo hold apply.

Ambient temperature is stable and not exposed to external heat.

Default values used for Dry Ice calculation:

• 12 deg. C for Winter season and

• 20 deg. C for Summer season.

Temperature control may no be longer be required or available.

TP-07 – Default = 3 Hours - as per local airport rules and operations

Total transit and tarmac time incorporate container transfer from high loader at tarmac, truck from tarmac, trucking, security exit and delivery to Handling Agent facility.

Temperature control may no be longer be required or available

TP-08 – Default = 1 Hour

Upon receipt of Container at Handling Agent facility, removal of trolleys, boxes and ovens followed by internal and external cleaning.

Aft doors remain open during the process.

Exposure to ambient temperature

Total loss of any cold air within the cargo compartment will apply.

Temperature control may no be longer be required or available.

TP-09 - Default = None

External storage will result in Container being exposed to sunshine, rain, wind and ambient temperatures 24/7.

Please consider high ambient temperature impact of external storage - reference summer schedule, heat waves, exposure to sunshine, confined spaces, no air movements
