HISTORICAL

AS5385A

This Standard aims at identifying the design criteria and testing methods adequate to guarantee the ultimate load and operational dependability of cargo restraint strap assemblies with a typical 22 250 N (5,000 lbf) rated ultimate tension load capability, as used by the airline industry in order to restrain on board civil transport aircraft during flight: a cargo loaded and tied down onto airworthiness certified air cargo pallets, themselves restrained into aircraft lower deck or main deck cargo systems meeting the requirements of NAS 3610, or b non-unitized individual pieces of cargo, or pieces of cargo placed onto an unrestrained (“floating”) pallet into either lower deck or main deck containerized cargo compartments of an aircraft.

CARGO RESTRAINT ON AIRCRAFT PASSENGER SEATS - MAIN PASSENGER CABIN

2008-06-22

HISTORICAL

ARP4049

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes the basic recommendations for the following two types of configuration for securing cargo to aircraft passenger seats on transport category aircraft: It is emphasized that the two types of restraint shown are merely examples of methods currently used and does not imply that alternative methods are not acceptable. For the purposes of this document, the minimum essential criteria are identified by the use of the key word "shall." Recommended criteria are identified by the use of the key word "should," and while not mandatory are considered to be of significant importance in providing safe, economical, and practical means of cargo restraint. Deviation from recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, and thorough service evaluation have shown alternative methods to be satisfactory.

CARGO PALLET EXTENDERS

1990-09-01

HISTORICAL

AS1988

Pallet extensions provide support for items of cargo beyond either the short or the long sides of a pallet, allowing increased volume to be achieved. The extensions are designed to suit the contour of wide-bodied aircraft. Each extension consists of a panel or shelf extending upwards and outboards within an envelope bounded by the ULD contour (see Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4). The panel or shelf is secured in this position by means of chains, cables, or structural members attached to the rails of the adjacent sides of the pallet edge.

Aircraft Cargo Systems - Missing Restraint Limitations Layouts

HISTORICAL

ARP5492

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides recommendations for aircraft manufacturers and operating carriers about how to establish common information for the use of cargo systems with missing/inoperative restraints. Because of the fact that the certified restriction requirements due to missing/inoperative restraints are dependent of the specific aircraft structure and the system layout of the cargo loading system, this document shall only recommend common layout of information for the users based on the certified data provided to allow for common training, understanding and handling. This shall be used right from the beginning for future aircraft types for certified data.

Air and Air/Surface (Platform) Cargo Pallet Nets

CURRENT

AS1131C

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides dimensional, structural and environmental requirements for pallet nets to be used in conjunction with 2.44 m (8 ft) wide pallets described in AS1130. The pallet/net combination are used in freighter versions of certificated aircraft equipped to provide restraint to pallets tested to the requirements of NAS 3610 Class II restraint system. The minimum essential criteria are identified by use of the key word "shall". Recommended criteria are identified by use of the key word "should", and while not mandatory, are considered to be primary importance in providing serviceable, economical, and practical air transport pallet nets. Deviation from recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, and thorough service evaluation have shown alternate methods to be satisfactory.

AS4041B

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the basic requirements for the design, construction and testing of air mode 2.44 m × 2.44 m (8 ft × 8 ft) cross-section containers. These containers are to be used exclusively in conjunction with the air mode in freighter versions of wide-body commercial transport aircraft. Air mode containers will normally be on aircraft roller conveying systems and/or on similarly equipped ancillary ground handling devices. Similar requirements for air/surface (intermodal) containers are provided in AS832.
