BAGGAGE/CARGO LOADING
CABIN CARGO AREA
Strategically located nutplates are provided throughout the cabin which
allow for the installation of plywood flooring option (standard equipment
on Cargo Versions). The plywood flooring provides protection for the
floor structure, assists in the ease of loading cargo and helps with the
distribution of concentrated loads.
Maximum allowable cargo loads will be determined by the individual
zone weight limitation and by the airplane weight and C.G. limitations.
The number of tiedowns required is dependent on the load(s) to be
secured. Figure 6-10, Cargo Tie-Down Attachments, shows the
maximum allowable cargo weight for each type of cargo tiedown
attachment.
On Cargo Versions, the sidewalls in the cargo area are marked with
vertical lines to facilitate the identification of six loading zones.
Markings located on the sidewalls between the lines identify each zone
by number and display the maximum load which can be carried within
the zones. Refer to Figure 6-6, Cabin Internal Load Markings (Cargo
Version), for maximum zone weight limits.
The maximum load values marked in each zone are
predicated on all cargo being tied down within the
zones.
On Cargo Versions, a horizontal line labeled "75%" is prominently
marked along each sidewall as a loading reference. As indicated on a
placard on the lower cargo door, zones forward of the last loaded zone
must be at least 75% full by volume. Whenever possible, each zone
should be loaded to its maximum available volume prior to loading the
next zone. An additional placard located on the right sidewall between
Zones 5 and 6 cautions that if the load in Zone 5 exceeds 400 pounds,
a cargo partition net is required aft of the load or the load must be
secured to the floor. Refer to Figure 6-6, Cabin Internal Load Markings
(Cargo version), for additional details on installed placards and loading
requirements.
