Loading of rear (bulk) cargo hold (compartment 5)
CAUTION : THE MAXIMUM LOAD ON THE FLOOR MUST NOT EXCEED THE VALUES SPECIFIED IN
PARAGRAPH 1.10.04.
‘A MINIMUM CLEARANCE OF 51 mm (2 in) TO THE CARGO COMPARTMENT CEILING
HAS TO BE RESPECTED.
‘The rear (bulk) cargo hold (compartment 5) is designed for the carriage of bulk loads with a maximum
load density of 240 kg/m? (15 lb/ft”),
Bulk loads are defined as loose loads, baggage or freight which can be loaded within a net section.
‘A. Cargo hold (compartment 5) capacity
The cargo hold has a maximum load capacity of 1 497 kg (3 300 Ib)
For loading control purposes the cargo hold is divided into individual sections as given in the table
below.

Compartment § a 65 1497 3300
The cargo hold is separated from the aft cargo hold (compartment 4} by a removable lateral net at
frame station 59.
The arrangement of the cargo hold, cargo hold volumes and average H-arms are given in
paragraph 1.60.05.
B, Restraint conditions
When the certified net restraint system is used, adait
as shown in the following.
Allindividual items of load which by their nature, shape or density may constitute a hazard shall be
restrained. Restraint can be achieved by filling the cargo hold or section volumetrically, or by tie
down.
Compartments or net sections which are 80 % volumetrically filled are considered to be
volumetrically full
Packages weighing more than 150 kg (330 Ib} shall be restrained or individually tied down. Single
packages should be tied down,
All single items exceeding the size of a net section are considered as non unitized load.
In case of non unitized load the divider net at frame station 69 can be removed if
nal tie down is normally not required except
~ all items in net sections forward and behind a removed divider net are individually restrained,
refer to paragraph 1.60.08,
= no loose cargo left in net Sections forward and behind a removed divider net.
C. Tie down requirements
Tie down of loads to aircraft structure is achieved via tie down straps and nets connected to the tie
down points located on the cargo hold floor.
Each tie down points is designed to an ultimate load of 906 kg (2 000 Ib}, in any direction,
Location of tie down points is given in paragraph 1.60.05
Tie down arrangement via tie down straps and nets or equivalent restraint hardware shall provide
evenly distributed loads to the cargo hold floor.
