BAGGAGE AND CARGO LOADING
Baggage and cargo should be evenly distributed over the baggage
compartment to avoid load concentration.
Cargo and baggage loading up to 990 kg (2182 lb) are not required to
be tied down. If the baggage compartment is loaded with more than
990 kg (2182 lb), only the exceeding load must be tied down with the
horizontal net.
For airplanes Post-Mod. SB 145-25-0261 (reinforced liners) or
equipped with an equivalent modification factory incorporated, the use
of the horizontal net is not required.
Cargo must not become a hazard to the airplane structure or systems
as a result of shifting under operational loads. Sharp edges (like
wooden or metal containers) or dense cargo (objects significantly
more dense than typical passenger baggage) must be placed under
the cargo restraint net to prevent shifting.
If the baggage compartment is to be loaded with higher values than
those listed below, the following simultaneous conditions must be
observed:
Airplane shall be with a minimum required fuel of 907 kg (2000 lb).
No more than one person can be at the airplane cone either inside
the baggage compartment or inside the rear electronic
compartment.
EMB-145 models without Thrust Reverser: 1000 kg (2205 lb).
EMB-145 models with Thrust Reverser: 800 kg (1764 lb).
ERJ-140 models with Thrust Reverser: 1000 kg (2205 lb)
EMB-135 models: 800 kg (1764 lb).
CAUTION:
IF THE CONDITIONS ABOVE ARE NOT OBSERVED,
AIRPLANE TILTING (TAIL DOWN) MAY OCCUR.
