1.1.4. Description of Cargo Compartments

1.1.4.1. Cargo Compartments of A320-214

The cargo compartments are located in the lower fuselage, below the passenger cabin. They are dividedinto one forward hold (compartment 1) and three aft holds (compartment 3, 4 and 5 = bulk).All compartments meet the FAR, Part 25, Class D requirements.

The access doors to the cargo compartments are electrically operated from control panels adjacent toeach door. The door may be operated manually in case of power failure with a door hand crank.

A semi-automatic cargo loading system is installed in the FWD (CMPT 1) and AFT compartment (CMPT3/4). Each system is similar and can be operated by one person. A control panel, installed on thecompartment door controls the electrical POWER DRIVE UNITS (PDU) and the door sill latches.

If bulk load is loadedin FWD or AFT thesection-nets must beinstalled and thelimitations for A320(bulk loaded) will apply.

1.1.4.1.1. Load Securing A320 (bulk loaded)

The divider and door net in each compartment must be closed at any time. Additional tie-down isnormally not required except for individual items of load which by their nature, shape or density mayconstitute a hazard. They must be restrained, which can be achieved by filling the cargo hold or netsection volumetrically, or by tie-down.When filled up to ¾ of height, the cargo hold or net section is considered to be volumetrically full.Packages weighing more than 150kg shall be restraint or individually tied-down. Single packages shouldbe tied-down. Tie-down of loads to aircraft structure is achieved by straps or nets connected to the tie-down points located on the cargo hold floor. Each tie-down point is designed to an ultimate load of906kg, in any direction.

A minimum clearance of 5 cm must be kept between any load and compartment hold ceiling.

1.1.4.2.1. Load Securing A321 (bulk loaded)

The divider and door net in each compartment must be closed at any time. Additional tie-down isnormally not required except for individual items of load which by their nature, shape or density mayconstitute a hazard. They must be restrained, which can be achieved by filling the cargo hold or netsection volumetrically, or by tie-down.When filled up to 80% of height, the cargo hold or net section is considered to be volumetrically full.Packages weighing more than 150kg shall be restraint or individually tied-down. Single packages shouldbe tied-down. Tie-down of loads to aircraft structure is achieved by straps or nets connected to the tie-down points located on the cargo hold floor. Each tie-down point is designed to an ultimate load of906kg, in any direction.

A minimum clearance of 5 cm must be kept between any load and compartment hold ceiling.

AFT cargo loading limitation due to ACT installation:

• The loading of following articles is strictly prohibited in AFT and BULK (CMPTs 3+4+5):- any dangerous goods in class 8 (RCM) CORROSIVE- any dangerous goods in division 1.4S (RXS) EXPLOSIVE- any dangerous goods in division 2.1 (RFG) FLAMMABLE GAS- any dangerous goods in class 3 (RFL) FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS- any cargo items with a front section equal or less than 40x40cm and a length exceeding 1.9m- non unitized cargo- any package weighing more than 150kg (HEA)

above articles or packages must be loaded FWD only

• Beginning behind the ACT, each section has to be filled up to at least 80% of its volume, before thenext section can be loaded. If a net section in CMPT 3 or CMPT 4 is not filled up to at least 80% ofits volume, the BULK (CMPT 5) is restricted to a maximum of 250kg in total.

To open• Turn the door locking handle downward (105°) to the UNLOCKED position.

(make sure vent door will open)• open the door service panel• move the selector switch to the open position and hold it until green indicator light comes on

In case of an electrical failure or if the pump fails, the door can be opened or closed manually with thehand pump. The crank is inserted into socket fittings located in the lower fuselage, aft of right-hand mainlanding gear (yellow system - ground service panel).

To close• move the selector switch to the CLOSE position and hold it until the compartment door is closed

(Note: the green indicator light goes off when the door starts to close)• turn the door locking handle up to the LOCKED position and push it into the recess of the handle flap• make sure that the green mark is visible through each cargo door indication window

Note: the following external indications show that the cargo door is not correctly closed:- vent door stays in open position- door locking handle stays away from the outer contour of the door- red mark is visible through cargo door indication window

If one of these signs is visible call the ground engineer. Do not attempt to open the door immediatelyafter it has been closed, as the pressure of the hydraulic system prevents the door from moving to thevertical position

Each door sill latch has twoindependently operated latches:• One latch, when raised, stops the inadvertent roll-out of an ULD during load/unload operations. It is

overridable in the load direction. This latch is lowered electrically from a switch on the control panel.

• The other latch locks the ULD in the door area position at the door sill and is manually operated.

Unloading of FWD (Compartment 1):1. open cargo compartment door2. lower door sill latches manually3. set POWER switch to ON4. set SILL LATCH switch to down and hold to

lower second latch of door sill latches5. set joystick to out and hold until ULD in door

1.1.4.5.3. Missing or Inoperative Restraints Load Limits

For the FWD and AFT cargo compartment the following limits apply:

If any latch is missing or inoperative the position must be kept unloaded (or max. an empty ULD), exceptfor the YZ-latches at the side guide rail, as the load must be reduced to 794kg if one unit or one unit oneach side is missing or inoperative; if two or more units are missing or inoperative the position must bekept unloaded (or max. an empty ULD).

1.1.5. Package Tables

These tables show maximum package size dimensions which will pass through the cargo door openings.

Package sizes are approximate: Tilting, twisting bending and/or rotating packages through openings willallow additional lengths in many cases, but should be determined for each situation. A trial loading isrecommended for packages with dimensions close to maximum dimensions indicated in the tables.

The height dimensions do not include allowances for items increasing package height such as fork lifttine thickness, pallet depths, skid tub heights, etc. Any such devices must be accounted for the totalpackage height.

1.1.7. Potable Water Service

To fill the tank (max 200 l) the hose must be connected to the fill/drain port of the AFT fill and drainpanel. Turn the fill/drain handle to the pull to fill position and pull the handle out to the mechanical stop.

Switch the pump of the service vehicle on (do not exceedwater pressure 3.45 bar). The quantity indicator shows therequired quantity. The fill/drain handle will automaticallyreturn to the normal position when the tank full light comeson. If the tank is overfilled, water will flow from the overflowport.

If the system must be drained and electrical power is not available, all panels (forward, center, aft) mustbe serviced simultaneously.

1.1.8. Lavatory System

To drain the waste tank (max capacity 200 l) thehose must be connected to the toilet drainconnection (AFT). Push the open lever and pullthe drain valve control handle from the NORMALto the DRAIN position and the waste will drain.Connect the flush/fill hose of the toilet servicingvehicle to the fill and rinse connection (do notexceed 2.4 bar) and flush the toilet system withapproximately 20 liters. The drain valve controlhandle must be in the DRAIN position during thisoperation.

figure 24 lavatory/waste panel

Switch the pump of the servicing vehicle off and put the drain valve control handle in NORMAL position.Disconnect the adapter and the drain hose. To close the inner flap valve pull the push to open lever untilthe lever clicks. Pump 10 l of water as prime charge and disconnect the fill and rinse hose and let thewater in the line drain completely. Close the cap and visually examine for leaks.
