Uncontrolled if printed
• Only one strap may be attached to each cargo tie-down fitting.
• Fittings installed in the seat tracks must be spaced at least 8" apart.
• There must be at least 4" of clearance between the sides of the fuselage
(or windows) and articles of cargo.
• There must be at least 8" of clearance between cargo and seat backs.
• Cargo spanning more than one zone may have a total weight of the
added zones, but care must be taken to ensure that the maximum zone
ratings are not violated in any individual zone.
• Items that are difficult to bundle or stack with other cargo must be
secured separately using adequate straps and tie-down points.
• All equipment used to secure cargo must be in proper condition to
perform its function, with no damage or weakened components that
could adversely affect its performance.
Using Wall and Ceiling Tie-Downs to Secure Cargo
The walls and ceiling of the fuselage are less capable of restraining cargo
than the seat tracks, and therefore require the following considerations:
• When securing cargo to prevent upward movement, the cargo must
be positioned so that the straps create an angle of at least 45° with the
floor (viewed from front or rear) when using tie-down points in the walls
of the fuselage. This is illustrated in the figure below.
