CABIN CARGO AREA
CARGO PARTITION NETS
Cargo partition nets are available and can be installed to divide the
cargo area into convenient compartments. Partitions may be installed in
all of the five locations at FS 188.7, 246.8, 282.0, 307.0 and 332.0. The
cargo partitions are constructed of canvas with nylon webbing
reinforcement straps crisscrossing the partition for added strength. The
ends of the straps have quick-release fasteners which attach to the
floor tracks and two floor-mounted anchor plates located just forward of
the raised cargo floor and other anchor plates on the sidewalls and
ceiling. Four straps have adjustable buckles for tightening the straps
during installation of the partition. Refer to Figure 6-8, Cargo Partition
Nets, for additional details.
Zones divided by cargo partitions can be loaded without additional
tiedowns if a total loaded density for each partitioned zone does not
exceed 7.9 pounds per cubic foot and the zone is more than 75% full.
Cargo loading that does not meet these requirements must be secured
to the cabin floor.
The maximum cargo partition load is the sum of any
two zones. No more than two adjacent zones can be
divided by one partition. The partitions are designed to
prevent the cargo from shifting forward and aft in flight.
They should not be considered adequate to withstand
crash loads and do not replace the need for a cargo
barrier.
