Baggage Compartment

The baggage compartment door, located on the left side of the
fuselage aft of the wing, allows entry to the baggage compartment.
The baggage door is hinged on the forward edge and latched on the
rear edge. The door is locked from the outside with a key lock. The
baggage compartment key will also open the cabin doors.
The baggage compartment extends from behind the rear passenger
seat to the aft cabin bulkhead. The rear seats can be folded forward to
provide additional baggage area for long or bulky items.
Baggage Tie-Downs/Cargo Net
If not adequately restrained, baggage compartment items may
pose a projectile hazard to cabin occupants in the event of
rapid deceleration. Secure all baggage items with tie-down
straps or cargo net.
Four baggage tie-down straps are provided to secure items in the
baggage compartment. Each strap assembly has a hook at each end
and a cam-lock buckle in the middle. The hook ends clip over loop
fittings installed in the baggage floor and in the rear bulkhead. The tie-
down straps should be stowed attached and tightened to the fittings.
The aircraft is equipped with a retractable cargo net to secure items in
the baggage compartment. Integral inertia reels attached to the rear
bulkhead allow the cargo net to be extended forward, placed over
baggage, and secured to the seat back via four latch assemblies. The
cargo net should be stowed attached to the seat back fittings.
The cargo net is not functional when rear seats are folded forward.
Use conventional tie-down straps in this configuration.
