which the airplane was type certificated. Restraining devices must also

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 exceeds 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 require the physical entry of a crewmember to extinguish any fire that
may occur during flight, the cargo
must be loaded so as to allow a crewmember to effectively reach all parts
