Flight Crew & Load Planner - NOTOC

The NOTOC must include the following information:

• The Air Waybill number (when issued)
• The proper shipping name and UN or ID number
• The class or division and any subsidiary risk(s)
• The packing group, when applicable
• For non-radioactive packages, the number of packages, the net quantity or gross weight, if required on the Shipper's Declaration, and the exact loading location
• For radioactive material: the number of packages, their category, their transport index, if applicable, and their exact loading location
• Whether the package is restricted to cargo aircraft only
• The airport at which the package is to be unloaded
• An indication that the dangerous goods are being carried under a State exemption, if applicable

DGR Table 9.5.A lists dangerous goods that are not required to appear on the information provided to the pilot-in-command. Dangerous goods in excepted quantities and Category B biological substances are two examples of types of dangerous goods not required to be on a NOTOC.

The information provided to the pilot-in-command must have a signed confirmation from the personnel responsible for loading the dangerous goods stating that there was no evidence of damage or leakage.

The pilot-in-command must provide indication that he or she has received this information, and the NOTOC must be readily available during the flight. In addition to the pilot-in-command's copy, another copy of the form must be retained on the ground. This copy must be readily accessible to the flight operations crew.

If the pilot-in-command takes over a transit aircraft, the notification of all dangerous goods that remain onboard must be provided and readily available.
