Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This rule immediately bans aircraft operators from using cargo containers mounted on passenger seats unless those containers are designed, manufactured and installed under an approval from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) or an authorized delegate. It affects all operators who carry freight in passenger cabins and matters because unapproved containers can fail in turbulence or crashes, risking injury and blocking evacuations.
