Description
Maximum contour limitations for all Unit Load Devices (ULDs) are defined by the inner contours of aircraft cargo compartments. Exceeding these contour limits due to improper ULD build-up or use of damaged ULDs can result in direct contact with aircraft structure or systems, leading to aircraft damage and potential safety risks.
Compliance with prescribed contour limits during ULD build-up (and their verification at acceptance check), maintaining minimum clearances from the aircraft internal envelope and adherence to loading procedures, are therefore critical to ensure safe aircraft loading operations and to prevent aircraft structural or system damage.
