Recall the information listed in the Header Block of the WDR. Which item is included?

The information in the Header Block is used to identify exactly which WDR you’re looking at. It needs to pin down the flight, the aircraft, the route, and which version of the report you’re using. That’s why the four items listed—flight number to identify the route and schedule, ship number to identify the specific aircraft, city pair to show origin and destination, and release number to specify the version of the data—are the ones included in the header. They provide the context you need before you dive into the load data. Cargo load and passenger load belong in the body of the WDR where the actual weight distribution is detailed, not in the header. The WDR date and time may appear as metadata elsewhere, but they don’t serve as the primary identifying fields for the report, which is why they aren’t part of the header block.
