each passenger and must contain infor-
mation that is pertinent only to the 
type and model airplane on which it is 
used.

§ 91.521

Shoulder harness. 

(a) No person may operate a trans-

less it is equipped at each seat at a 
flight deck station with a combined 
safety belt and shoulder harness that 
meets the applicable requirements 
specified in § 25.785 of this chapter, ex-
cept that— 

(1) Shoulder harnesses and combined 

safety belt and shoulder harnesses that 
were approved and installed before 
March 6, 1980, may continue to be used; 
and 

(2) Safety belt and shoulder harness 

restraint systems may be designed to 
the inertia load factors established 
under the certification basis of the air-
plane. 

(b) No person may operate a trans-

port category airplane unless it is 
equipped at each required flight at-
tendant seat in the passenger compart-
ment with a combined safety belt and

except— 

(a) In a suitable baggage or cargo 

storage compartment, or as provided in 
§ 91.525; or 

(b) Under a passenger seat in such a 

way that it will not slide forward under 
crash impacts severe enough to induce 
the ultimate inertia forces specified in 
§ 25.561(b)(3) of this chapter, or the re-
quirements of the regulations under 
which the airplane was type certifi-
cated. Restraining devices must also 
limit sideward motion of under-seat 
baggage and be designed to withstand 
crash impacts severe enough to induce 
sideward forces specified in § 25.561(b)(3) 
of this chapter. 

§ 91.525

Carriage of cargo. 

(a) No pilot in command may permit 

cargo to be carried in any airplane un-

rack, bin, or compartment installed in 
the airplane; 

(2) It is secured by means approved 

by the Administrator; or 

(3) It is carried in accordance with 

each of the following: 

(i) It is properly secured by a safety 

belt or other tiedown having enough 
strength to eliminate the possibility of 
shifting under all normally anticipated 
flight and ground conditions. 

(ii) It is packaged or covered to avoid 

possible injury to passengers. 

(iii) It does not impose any load on 

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

(iv) It is not located in a position 

that restricts 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. 

(v) It is not carried directly above 

seated passengers. 

(b) 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. 

§ 91.527

that has frost, ice, or snow adhering to
