CARGO BARRIER AND NETS
A cargo barrier and three barrier nets may be installed directly behind
the pilot's and front passenger's seats. The barrier and nets prevent
loose cargo from moving forward into the pilot's and front passenger's
area during an abrupt deceleration.
The barrier consists of a U-shaped divider constructed out of
honeycomb composite. The bottom portion of the barrier attaches to
the pilot and front passenger seat rails at four locations (FS 153.0). The
top portion attaches to cabin top structure at approximately FS 166.0.
The cargo barrier nets consist of three nets, one for the left sidewall,
one for the right sidewall, and one for the center. The left and right nets
fill in the space between the barrier assembly and the airplane
sidewalls. The side nets are fastened to the airplane sidewalls and the
edge of the barrier with six quick-release fasteners each, three on each
side. The center net fills in the opening in the top center of the barrier.
The center net is fastened with four fasteners, two on each side.
Horizontal lines labeled 75% are marked on the aft side of the cargo
barrier. Placards above the horizontal lines caution that the maximum
allowable load behind the barrier is 3400 pounds total, and that zones
forward of the last loaded zone must be at least 75% full by volume.
Refer to Figure 6-7, Cargo Barrier and Barrier Nets, for additional
details on installed placards and loading requirements.
