ULD in the air
An introduction to ULD Regulations workshop
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 1 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Accidents caused by ULDs do occurand severe damage to aircraft much more often
Primary concern: restraintThe essential function of all ULDs in the air is: cargo restraint!
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 3 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Nearly as important: contour
Maintaining the maximum contour throughout flightalso is essential
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 3 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
The too often overlooked reality is :ULDs in flight are part of the aircraft
Aircraft flight safety regulations also apply, as for any other aircraft part, and are defined in: ICAO Annex 6, Operation of aircraftICAO Annex 8, Airworthiness of aircraftand the derived national CAA regulations

ULDs specific guidanceAll these are applicable but general regulationsThe only regulatory guidance material specific to ULDs is:
FAA Advisory Circular AC 120-85 of 2005Air cargo operations
developed after a major accident where cargo operations and ULDs were instrumental.
WCS 2013 Regulation track – ULD / 5 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Excerpts from AC 120-85220. TYPES OF ULDS AND OTHER RESTRAINT DEVICES. a. Certified ULDs. Certified ULDs should meet the requirements of TSO-C90, Cargo Pallets, Nets, and
Containers; STC requirements, if applicable; or other FAA-approved certification requirements. The air carrier should have on file an FAA approval letter, certificate, or other certifying document, such as a conformance certificate provided by the ULD equipment manufacturer, for all of its certified ULDs.
b. Uncertified ULDs. The air carrier should have documentation from the ULD equipment manufacturer stating to which design criteria the ULD is manufactured. These design criteria may be industry standards such as Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aerospace Standard (AS) 1677, General Requirements for Uncertified Cargo/Baggage Containers; International Standards Organization (ISO) publication no. 4118, Non-certified Lower-deck Containers for Air Transport; International Air Transport Association (IATA) ULD Technical Manual (UTM) 50/7; or other FAA-accepted standard.
c. Cargo Nets. Most air carrier weight and balance manuals recognize a TSO cargo pallet/net as a primary restraint for unitized cargo. A cargo net is the only restraint device that conforms to the shape of the cargo while providing restraint in all directions so that the load is spread to the net fittings and pallet edge rails. Deviation from the use of approved cargo pallet/net as a primary restraint may require the cargo to be airplane compartment restrained, if loaded in a compartment certified for compartment restraint, or restrained by cargo straps or other approved devices as provided in the airplane’s weight and balance manual or STC supplemental weight and balance manual. The air carrier manual should have policies and procedures in place to address this issue.
Excerpts from AC 120-85 (contd)221. DETERMINING IF A ULD IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE AIRPLANE IT IS TO BE LOADED ON. It is critical
to the safety of flight for the air carrier to have procedures in place to confirm that each ULD loaded aboard an airplane is compatible with the airplane regardless of whether the air carrier or a vendor of the air carrier owns the ULD. Not all ULDs are FAA-approved as compatible with all airplanes. Therefore, an air carrier should have procedures to:
a. Ensure certified and uncertified ULDs are compatible with the airplane and do not present a hazard to the airplane.
b. Ensure uncertified ULDs meet either UTM 50/7, AS 1677, or ISO 4118, or another FAA-accepted standard.
c. Inform employees and vendors loading airplanes converted from passenger to all-cargo by an STC that it could be subject to ULD requirements that differ from other STC conversions or production airplane configurations in the air carrier fleet.
f. Ensure approved ULD limitations are maintained in the manual. An air carrier should base these limitations on data from applicable airplane weight and balance manuals, STC supplemental weight and balance manuals, or other FAA-approved sources. The limitations should identify which ULDs arecompatible with specific airplanes and should be easily accessible by all affected persons.
223. PURCHASE OF AN UNCERTIFIED ULD. When purchasing new or used uncertified ULDs, the air carrier should:
a. Obtain the manufacturer’s current CMMs and illustrated parts list, subsequent manual revisions, service letters, or SBs.
b. Verify that the manufacturer establishes clearly defined and tested serviceability limits in accordance with IATA, SAE, or ISO standards.
Excerpts from AC 120-85 (contd)227. PROCEDURES FOR MAINTAINING AND REPAIRING ULDs. An air carrier should have procedures for
the maintenance and repair of certified and uncertified ULDs. The procedures should be the same for both types of ULDs, except for establishing appropriate damage limits and specific repair procedures.
230. RETURNING A ULD TO SERVICE. An air carrier should have procedures for repairing unserviceable ULDs and approving them for return to service. As required by part 43, only appropriately trained and FAA-certificated airmen are authorized to return a ULD to service. The airmen should return ULD equipment to service under the requirements of the applicable CMM or air carrier instructions. FAA-approved repair stations operating under 14 CFR part 145 should return ULDs to service in accordance with air carrier procedures.
237. PERFORMING CHECKS BEFORE USING ULDS OR OTHER CARGO RESTRAINT DEVICES. An air carrier should perform an operational check for damage before using ULDs (that is, movement or buildup) and other restraint devices, and a final serviceability check before loading cargo aboard the airplane.
238. PURPOSE OF OPERATIONAL CHECKS. Operational checks are not intended to determine a ULD’sairworthiness. Instead, they are performed to ensure the ULD or other restraint devices do not have obvious damage greater than their damage limits. An air carrier should not use ULDs or other restraint devices with damage greater than damage limits specified.
239. INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY PERFORM OPERATIONAL CHECKS. FAA-certificated airmen do not have to perform operational checks. Air carriers should train, qualify, and authorize personnel to perform serviceability checks. The air carrier procedures should identify who performs these checks and when.
(and much more …)
Four main regulated fields
Aircraft type approval(Type Certificate, Weight & Balance Manual = W&BM)
Airline / carrier approval (Air Operator Certificate = AOC)
ULD design approval (TSO authorization or STC)
Continued airworthiness (inspection, maintenance)
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 6 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
1. Aircraft type approval
Each aircraft is certified (Type Certificate, STC) by one or several authoritiesThis includes approval of its Weight & Balance Manual, that defines what is allowable or not as regards aircraft loadingThe W&BM forms the basis for carriers to develop the required Operating Instructions
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 7 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
2. Carrier approval
Each carrier’s operation is approved and controlled by its CAA under an Air Operator Certificate (AOC)The AOC and regulations require the carrier to maintain appropriate Operating InstructionsThe AOC holds the carrier responsible even when its operations are sub-contracted
WCS 2013 Regulation track – ULD /8 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
3. ULD approval
Certified ULDs design and airworthiness are approved by the CAA under Technical Standard Order (TSO) C90, or more seldom a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), marked on the unitContrary to frequent misconceptions, «Non-certified»containers also need approval, but indirectly, by meeting requirements of the approved W&BM, under carrier responsibility
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 9 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
4. Continued airworthiness (ICA)The ULD manufacturer must provide an approved Component Maintenance Manual (CMM)The ULD must be inspected prior to loading, and may be loaded only if it is in a condition meeting CMM (ODLN) minimum requirementsIf not, it must be repaired by an authorized agent and re-approved prior to return to service
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 10 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
How does it all fit together ?
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 11 Presented by: Jean‐Jacques Machon
Who is responsible / liable ?The manufacturer, for demonstrating to the Authority that the ULD meets the applicable requirements, and justifying the contents of the CMM, including damage limitsThe operator/carrier, for … everything else ! Its mandatory Operating Manual and quality control are the keys.
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 12 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
The industry’s problemBut can the operator/carrier do everything ?In today’s world, most ULD activities are performed by other parties: shippers, cargo terminal operators, ground services providers, forwarders, brokers, sales agents, ground transportation providers …All are supposed to work under the carrier’s Operating Instructions, but how many carriers ?
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 13 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Industry’s solution:a single set of regulationsfor all parties involved conforming to all legally applicable regulations
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 14 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Who can the ULDR help ?All industry stakeholders:
CarriersAirport cargo & ramp handling organizationsForwarders & cargo agentsShippers & consignees who handle ULDsULD manufacturers & repair agenciesand … the Authorities themselves !
WCS 2013 ULD workshop /15 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Carriers will be able to:Reduce their Operations Manual to specific data, W&BM derived and other if neededSatisfy sub-contractors training requirements through IATA approved training programsSatisfy their sub-contractors quality control obligations through ULDR compliance checks that can be mutualized
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 16 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Cargo terminal and ground handlers:Can have a single ULD operating requirements set instead of as many as customer airlines, except for specific data derived from W&BMCan use a single IATA endorsed training and qualification program for all their customersCan improve quality and develop systematic quality control on known bases
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 17 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
ULD manufacturers can:
Refer for design to more precise ULD technical requirements common to all customer airlinesUse industry approved operating conditionsEase Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) development and definition of intended use where legally required
Overall, benefit from better defined liability
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 18 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machonn
What’s new in the ULDR ?The ULDR are much more than revamping the former IATA ULD Technical Manual. Additions include :
List of the applicable airworthiness regulationsOperators & others regulatory responsibilitiesTraining requirements for all parties concerned
(contd)
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 19 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Aircraft limitationsProcedures for repairsRevised ULD general technical requirementsRevised and new Technical SpecificationsOperating Specifications intended to be used by carriers to develop their own Operations Manual, or by handlers who do not have any
Handling guidelines
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 20 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
And what is to come ?
Enhanced 2nd edition will include:
New Technical SpecificationsNew Operating SpecificationsImproved more user friendly layouts
All improvement suggestions are welcome
WCS 2013 Regulation track – ULD / 21 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Last but not least: trainingTraining is the essential component. To support the ULDR, IATA plans to develop for 2014 :
ULD training programs in modules fitting the various functions and jobs
including « Train the trainer » for instructorsaccreditations / endorsements for training schools
and carriers courses
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 22 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Some suggested workshop discussionsFeedback on ULDR 1st edition’s sectionsCan ULDR Operating Specifications be directly used for carriers Operations Manuals ?Which additional OS would be priorities ?What about a standard format for aircraft or carrier specific data, e.g. W&BM ?
(contd)
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 22 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
o
Is some form of ULD registration needed to keep SS 40/1 Appendix A updated, and how ?Would one-page factsheets for most common ULD types be a help ?What relationship is sought between ULDR and training material ?
WCS 2013 ULD workshop / 22 Presented by: Jean-Jacques Machon
Thank you for your patience,and have a safe flight home !
