Loose Cargo

Loose cargo refers to any item or material that is not properly secured or restrained within an aircraft's cargo compartment. This can include anything from luggage and packages to equipment and supplies. Loose cargo can pose a serious safety risk during flight, as it can shift or move around in flight, potentially causing damage to the aircraft or even leading to a loss of control. To prevent this, all loose cargo must be properly secured and restrained using approved methods and equipment, such as cargo nets, straps, and tie-downs. Additionally, pilots and ground crew must be trained to recognize and address any issues with loose cargo before takeoff.
