CARGO LOAD RESTRAINT

PREVENTION OF MOVEMENT

Cargo restraint requires the prevention of movement in five principal
directions: forward, aft, upward (vertical), left (side), and right (side).
These movements are the result of forces exerted upon the cargo due
to acceleration or deceleration of the airplane in takeoffs and landings
as well as forces due to air turbulence in flight. Correct restraint
provides the proper relationship between airplane configuration (with or
without cargo barrier), weight of the cargo, and the restraint required.
Cargo must be tied down for flight, landing, and taxi load, and/or crash
load. When a cargo barrier is not installed, all cargo must be prevented
from movement in the five principal directions and secured to provide
crash load restraint. The maximum rated loads specified for loadings
without a cargo barrier is shown in Figure 6-10 (Sheet 1), Cargo
Tiedown Attachments, and should be used for each tiedown.
Consistent use of these loading criteria is important, and it is the
responsibility of the pilot to make sure the cargo is restrained properly.
When a cargo barrier is installed, cargo aft of the barrier must also be
secured to prevent movement in the five principal directions, but only to
the extent that shifting due to flight, landing, and taxi loads is provided.
The maximum rated loads specified for loadings with a cargo barrier
installed is shown in Figure 6-10 (Sheet 1), Cargo Tiedown
Attachments, and should be used for each tiedown. With a barrier
installed, all cargo must be loaded such that loading zones forward of
the last loaded zone must be 75% full by volume.
In special loading arrangements which allow the
carriage of passengers as well as cargo behind the
barrier in the passenger version, all cargo must be
secured to prevent movement in the five principal
directions and provide the same crash load
restraint as though a barrier was not installed using
the maximum rated loads specified for loading
without a barrier. In this arrangement, cargo
placement must allow for movement and exit of the
passengers. The pilot must be responsible to make
sure proper load restraint in all loadings.
