CARGO POD

The airplane may be equipped with a cargo pod which provides
additional cargo space. The pod attaches to the bottom of the fuselage
with screws and can be removed, if desired, for increased performance
and useful load. The pod and doors are fabricated with a Nomex inner
housing, a layer of Kevlar, and an outer layer of fiberglass. Complete
instructions for removal and installation of the cargo pod are contained
in the 208 Maintenance Manual, Chapter 25-52-00, Cargo Pod -
Maintenance Practices.
The volume of the cargo pod is 111.5 cubic feet and has a load-carrying
capacity of 1090 pounds (494 kg). The pod has aluminum bulkheads
that divide it into four separate compartments. Each compartment has a
door on the left side of the pod that is hinged at the bottom. Each door
has two handles that latch the doors in the closed position when rotated
90 degrees to the horizontal position.
