CABIN CARGO AREA
(Continued)
With all seats except the pilot's seat removed, a large cabin volume is
available for baggage/cargo. If a cargo barrier is installed, the total
volume available for cargo behind the barrier is 340 cubic feet.
Cargo can be loaded through the large, almost square, two-piece cargo
door. The floor is flat from the firewall (FS 100.0) to the aft side of the
cargo door (FS 332.0), except for a small area around the rudder
pedals. This area is limited to a 200 pound per square foot maximum
allowable loading.
Between FS 332.0 and 356.0, additional cargo space is provided on a
floorboard raised approximately five inches above the main cabin floor.
The raised baggage/cargo area contains eight anchor plates where
quick-release tiedown fittings can be attached. This raised area is
limited to a maximum cargo capacity of 320 pounds.
In the front passenger seat area, FS 125.00 to 159.98, "I" section seat
tracks are installed where tiedown block assemblies can be clamped to
the tracks to serve as tiedown attachment points.
From FS 158.00 to 332.0, seat tracks are provided and designed to
receive quick-release tiedown fittings which can be snapped into the
tracks at 1.00 inch intervals.
If rope, cable or other fittings are used for tiedowns, they should be
rated at a minimum of 2100 pounds when used with all fittings noted in
Figure 6-10, Cargo Tie-Down Attachments. The only exception is the
double-stud quick-release tiedowns which require a 3150 pound rating.
