Flight Crew & Load Planner - Carried Dangerous Goods

Dangerous goods must not be carried by passengers or crew as checked baggage, as carry-on baggage, or on their person, except as listed in DGR 2.3 and shown in Table 2.3.A. Some dangerous goods are permitted in controlled quantities. In addition, these limited quantities may be restricted to baggage or carry-on items, or they may require operator approval.

For example, these common dangerous goods items may be carried in the cabin by passengers and crew:

• Alcoholic beverages
• Non-radioactive medicinal and toiletry articles, including aerosols
• Safety matches or a cigarette lighter (on one's person only)

Some dangerous goods are permitted in limited quantities in checked or carry-on baggage but they require the operator's approval. For example, small quantities of ammunition may be packed in checked baggage with operator's approval. Similarly, small quantities of dry ice are permitted in checked or carry-on baggage with operator's approval. Some items, such as mercury thermometers and oxygen cylinders, require that the pilot-in-command is informed of the location of these items.

Flight crew and load planners should be familiar with the dangerous goods that are permitted to be carried by passengers or crew.
