Scope
The methodology for maximum package size loading is based on a mathematical method allowing the calculation of maximum package size tables.
This method does not in principal differentiate between bulk loading and cargo system loading.
However, some restrictions have to be considered:
-
Some cargo systems generate pre-determined pallet trajectories. Envelope curves depending on the pallet size and the possible trajectories have to be determined first.
-
Door geometric limitations (with or without cargo loading system)
-
Turning limitations due to weight, load geometry and conveyance capability
-
Securing requirements
This document is not intended for airline operational use. It should be used by engineers performing calculations or developing computer programs to produce Maximum Package Size tables specified in AS1825.
Rationale
The SAE AGE-2A committee determined that the technology/practice defined in this standard has reached a level of maturity such that it is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future; therefore, it does not require regular 5-year reviews by the committee and it is appropriate for it to be stabilized.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
