Purpose

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides the criteria to be applied in order to determine compatibility with each other of an air cargo pallet and air cargo pallet net airworthiness approved under either NAS 3610 [TSO C90c] or AS36100A [TSO pending] performance and testing requirements.

It is intended to provide air cargo carriers/operators with the means of determining both the geometric compatibility and the airworthiness approval compatibility of a given pallet with a given net, as well as any limitations to their approved maximum rated capacity resulting from their being used in conjunction with each other.
