If
a child's seat is installed, only the eyebolts at station 109 and
the remaining aft eyebolts will be needed for securing the net in the area
remaining behind the seat. A placard on the baggage door defines the
weight limitations in the baggage areas.
When baggage area A is utilized for baggage only, the four forward
eyebolts should be used. When only baggage area B is used, the eyebolts
just aft of the baggage door and the eyebolts above or below the shelf area
may be used. When only baggage area C is utilized, the eyebolts above and
below the shelf area should be used. When the cabin floor (baggage areas A
and B) is utilized for baggage, the four forward eyebolts and the eyebolts
mounted above or below the shelf area should be used. When there is
baggage in areas Band C, the eyebolts just aft of the baggage door and the
eyebolts above and below the shelf area should be used. When baggage is
contained in all three areas, the two forward eyebolts on the cabin floor, the
eyebolts just aft of the baggage door or the eyebolts at the bottom of the

Cargo tie-down blocks and latch assemblies are available from any
Cessna Dealer if it is desired to remove the rear seat (and child's seat, if
installed) and utilize the rear cabin area to haul cargo. Two tie-down blocks
may be clamped to the aft end of the two outboard front seat rails and are
locked in place by a bolt which must be tightened to a minimum of fifty inch
pounds. Seven tie-down latches may be bolted to standard attach points in
the cabin floor, including three rear seat mounting points. The seven
attach points are located as follows: two are located slightly inboard and
just aft of the rear doorposts approximately at station 69; two utilize the aft
outboard mounting points of the rear seat; one utilizes the rearmost
mounting point of the aft center attach point for the rear seat approxi­
mately at station 84 (a second mounting point is located just forward of this
point but is not used); and two are located just forward of the center
baggage net tie-down eyebolts approximately at station 108. The maxi­
mum allowable floor loading of the rear cabin area is 200 pounds! square
foot; however, when items with small or sharp support areas are carried,
the installation of a 1!4" plywood floor is recommended to protect the
airplane structure. The maximum rated load weight capacity for each of
the seven tie-downs is 140 pounds and for the two seat rail tie-downs is 100
pounds. Rope. stra'-, or cable used for tie-down should be rated at a
minimum of ten tinll'~ the load weight capacity of the tie-down fittings
used. Weight and balance calculations for cargo in the area of the rear seat
