- Scope
- Purpose The present SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides a list of the main government regulations@ SAE and international standards@ and standing industry recommendations applying to air cargo unit load devices (pallets@ nets@ and containers) to be loaded with either baggage or freight on board civil transport aircraft. It is intended to provide unit load devices designers@ purchasers@ and operators as well as civil transport aircraft and aircraft cargo systems designers within the industry with a list of the available document references to cover the other aspects that do not all directly pertain to airworthiness and testing@ listed in 1.1 of AS36100@ ?C Air Cargo Unit Load Devices - Performance Requirements and Test Parameters [TSO-C90]. The scope of the listed documents covers airworthiness and continued airworthiness requirements@ design and testing methods@ design specifications@ unit load devices accessories@ and the main published rules for their proper operation/utilization and operating staff training. Field of Application This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is intended to apply to all airworthiness approved (certified) general purpose air cargo unit load devices. However@ in addition: Many provisions of the listed documents equally apply to non-airworthiness approved (non-certified) containers. Users are invited to review them and take them into account for design and operation of such containers. Special purpose air cargo unit load devices are subject to all pertinent provisions of the listed documents insofar as their general unit load device function is concerned. They often also require purpose specific features and performances: the relevant industry guidance documents are listed herein when available@ but they usually define only basic characteristics or requirements that necessitate further expert know-how. This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) does not address the mandatory or optional character of the listed documents@ and does not take responsibility for determining it. It pertains to document users under their responsibilities to determine which of the listed documents@ or which of their contents@ constitute mandatory requirements (except airworthiness approval requirements for certified units@ always mandatory)@ or to identify equivalent alternate means and validate them to the satisfaction of the approval Authority and/or the purchaser. The reference documents listed in this Aerospace Information Report (AIR) are not intended for use on military transport aircraft. Nothing@ however@ precludes there being used for guidelines in this case@ it pertaining to the military operator to identify and implement any additional applicable criteria.
