Subsection 9.3 - Loading

Dangerous goods may be carried in the main deck cargo compartment of a passenger aircraft as long as it meets the Class B or Class C certification requirements of aircraft cargo compartments. If a dangerous good is labeled as Cargo Aircraft Only, it must not be carried on a passenger aircraft.

Cargo compartments are classified as A through E, based on the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Certification Standard.

Some dangerous goods may react dangerously with each other. These goods must be segregated when stowed on an aircraft to prevent any interaction in the event of leakage.
