CABIN LOADING CONFIGURATIONS

With the exception of the cockpit, each of the six loading zones is equipped
with tie-down points, just behind the forward edge of the zone. The sixth zone
also has tie-down points at the rear of the zone, in the aft cabin bulkhead.
These tie-down points, along with the seat tracks in the floor, allow the
operator to fasten straps to the interior of the fuselage.
Acceptable Loading Configurations
The acceptable loading configurations for the KODIAK are established to
provide occupant safety in flight and allow emergency exiting through both
crew doors and the cargo door. The illustrations below represent different
loading scenarios by showing an overhead view of the fuselage, with grey
areas representing areas where cargo is loaded.

- particularly for heavy loads that span multiple zones.
Generally, the rear zone (Zone 6) is not equipped for seats and may be used
for cargo with any seating configuration.
1. When the aircraft is loaded with a combination of cargo and passengers, as
illustrated in the figure below, seats must be removed beginning at the rear
of the cabin to make room for cargo. There must be at least 8" of clearance
between cargo and the back of seats.
