§ 135.87 Carriage of cargo including

carry-on baggage.

No person may carry cargo, including

carry-on baggage, in or on any aircraft
unless—

(a) It is carried in an approved cargo

rack, bin, or compartment installed in
or on the aircraft;

(b) It is secured by an approved

means; or

each of the following:

(1) For cargo, it is properly secured

by a safety belt or other tie-down hav-
ing enough strength to eliminate the
possibility of shifting under all nor-
mally anticipated flight and ground
conditions, or for carry-on baggage, it
is restrained so as to prevent its move-
ment during air turbulence.

(2) It is packaged or covered to avoid

possible injury to occupants.

(3) It does not impose any load on

seats or on the floor structure that ex-
ceeds the load limitation for those
components.

(4) It is not located in a position that

obstructs the access to, or use of, any
required emergency or regular exit, or
the use of the aisle between the crew
and the passenger compartment, or lo-
cated in a position that obscures any
passenger’s view of the ‘‘seat belt’’
sign, ‘‘no smoking’’ sign, or any re-
quired exit sign, unless an auxiliary
sign or other approved means for prop-
er notification of the passengers is pro-
vided.

(5) It is not carried directly above

seated occupants.

(6) It is stowed in compliance with

this section for takeoff and landing.

(7) For cargo only operations, para-

graph (c)(4) of this section does not
apply if the cargo is loaded so that at
least one emergency or regular exit is
available to provide all occupants of
the aircraft a means of unobstructed
exit from the aircraft if an emergency
occurs.

(d) Each passenger seat under which

baggage is stowed shall be fitted with a
means to prevent articles of baggage
stowed under it from sliding under
crash impacts severe enough to induce
the ultimate inertia forces specified in
the emergency landing condition regu-
lations under which the aircraft was
type certificated.

(e) When cargo is carried in cargo

compartments that are designed to re-
quire the physical entry of a crew-
member to extinguish any fire that
may occur during flight, the cargo
must be loaded so as to allow a crew-
member to effectively reach all parts
of the compartment with the contents
of a hand fire extinguisher.

§ 135.89 Pilot requirements: Use of ox-

ygen.

(a)

Unpressurized aircraft.

Each pilot

of an unpressurized aircraft shall use

through 12,000 feet MSL for that part of
the flight at those altitudes that is of
more than 30 minutes duration; and

(2) Above 12,000 feet MSL.
(b)

Pressurized aircraft.

(1) Whenever a

pressurized aircraft is operated with
the cabin pressure altitude more than
10,000 feet MSL, each pilot shall com-
ply with paragraph (a) of this section.

shall wear, secured and sealed, an oxy-
gen mask that either supplies oxygen

oxygen whenever the cabin pressure al-
titude exceeds 12,000 feet MSL; and

(ii) During that flight, each other

pilot on flight deck duty shall have an
oxygen mask, connected to an oxygen
