Baggage and cargo must be properly stowed and fastened, otherwise a shift of the cargo may cause...

  • A

    structural damage, angle of attack stability, velocity stability.

  • B

    uncontrollable attitudes, structural damage, risk of injuries.

  • C

    calculable instability if the CG is shifting by less than 10%.

  • D

    continuous attitudes which can be corrected by the pilot using the flight controls.

Baggage and cargo must be properly stowed and fastened, otherwise a shift of the cargo may cause the following:

  1. Uncontrollable attitudes: In aviation, "attitude" refers to the orientation of the aircraft in terms of pitch, roll, and yaw. If cargo shifts unexpectedly, it can alter the aircraft's balance and center of gravity, making it extremely difficult to control the aircraft's orientation.
  2. Structural damage: If cargo is not properly secured, it can move during flight, especially during turbulence or sudden maneuvers. This movement can exert unexpected forces on the aircraft's structure, potentially leading to damage.
  3. Risk of injuries: Loose or shifting cargo poses a direct risk to anyone aboard the aircraft. In the event of sudden shifts, the cargo can become dangerous projectiles, leading to injuries to passengers, crew, or damage to equipment.
