EXPANDED CODE

Accessory items such as cargo straps and fittings may appear small and of little significance however they are just as important to flight safety and must be used correctly at all times.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

ULD accessories must never be tretaed as unimportant, yet all too often this is the case, left to lie in piles on the ground with little care and attention and often used without a proper understanding of the correct application or in an unserviceable condition.

WHAT CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

An accessory such as a cargo strap can become the weakest link in the chain, resulting in unsafe cargo condition.

ACCEPTABLE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE
