This specification covers one type of 5,000-pound capacity aircraft cargo tie down. The tie down is designated CGU-1/B and is furnished in a minimum length of 240 inches.
Included in this document are requirements for conveyor systems, guides, stops, restraint hardware that are used on trucks, transporters, dollies, storage provisions, pallet build-up hoists, or other device-handling equipment. These requirements reflect state of the art criteria applied to known successfully operated hardware. Any design deviations shall be required to demonstrate equivalency to this specification criteria.
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) specifies requirements for those portions of the aircraft Unit Load Device ground and terminal handling equipment that will have a direct bearing on the life of the ULD for the purpose of preventing undue wear on the ULD. Past experience has shown that in-service defects in regard to the above equipment cause high ULD cost. Greater control of maintenance is required.

Perishable cargoes, e.g., dairy produce, fruit, vegetables, flowers, frozen foods, meat, fish, etc., require maintenance of specific temperature ranges during air related door-to-door transportation.
The purpose of this document is to establish minimum operational requirements that will ensure that perishable cargoes in insulated standard airborne containers can be kept in prime condition during the ground handling and air transportation cycle within a maximum time span of 48 h.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) covers the design, fabrication, performance and operational testing requirements for lower deck containers for use in main line aircraft which do not require airworthiness certification when loaded under the conditions of compartment restraint and in accordance with the aircraft's Weight and Balance Manual and/or, where applicable according to the aircraft type's approved Weight and Balance Manual, AS36100A or NAS 3610 equivalent base plate restraint for these containers. Most sizes of containers covered by this document (base sizes K, L, P, and Q) cannot physically be loaded and latched on aircraft main deck cargo systems. Base size A and M containers can, but are not allowed on aircraft main decks, which do not accept non-certified units. Accordingly, all containers covered by this document are to be used/installed exclusively in aircraft lower deck compartments.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) covers the requirements for three sizes of compartment restrained lower deck containers (unit load devices) for the 767 airplane and which do not require airworthiness certification. NOTE: IATA Specification 50/0, General Technical Requirements and Serviceability limits, should also be taken into account when designing and making equipment according to this specification as certain provisions contained therein will also be applicable.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) covers the requirements for lower deck containers in wide body and standard body aircraft which do not require airworthiness certification under the condition of compartment restraint and/or, where applicable according to aircraft type, NAS3610 equivalent baseplate-restraint for these containers. NOTE: IATA 50/0, “Requirements for interlining of ULDs”, should also be taken into account when designing and making equipment.
The scope of this SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) shall cover the methodology of defining and determining the "internal volumes" of both the main deck and lower deck aircraft cargo compartments. The minimum required clearance between the compartment envelope and the unit load devices (ULDs) shall also be stated in order to provide the maximum ULD external contour and the methodology to define the ULD internal volumes.
The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to standardize the basic design, performance and testing requirements for “Cargo Stoppers” cargo tie-down accessories to be used in conjunction with approved tie-down straps meeting AS5385C requirements.
This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) defines a series of test procedures to determine the temperature conditioning performance of air mode containers with active conditioning systems, a classification system for air mode containers with active condition systems, a standard means of expressing conditioning performance within each classification and a standard means of documenting test results.
In accordance with § 4.11 of AS36100, materials used in the construction of pallets, nets, and containers shall take into account the effects of environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and UV degradation, expected in service. In accordance with (E)TSO-C90, the applicant shall consider environmental degradation due to aging, ultra-violet (UV) exposure, weathering, etc., for any materials used in the construction of pallets, nets, and containers. The purpose of this Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to provide guidelines for the basic requirements to be considered regarding environmental degradation effects when qualifying composite materials in the design to fulfill the (E)TSO-C90 Minimum Performance Standard. Material qualification is the verifying of a materials attributes and characterizations, which are typically determined through testing.
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.
