737SS I'm reading a 2 paged condensed version of some important DG rules that I keep in my flight bag. As I mentioned above, I need to have a re-read of the IATA DG manual sometime tomorrow.
I'm not sure if my info is 74 specific or aircraft in general. I THINK its in general. Since we are on the subject (and I've just re-read my notes) Polystyrene beads used as packing material (shock absorbant) are also DG... (they will expand during a decompression - could compromise a/c structure)
Indulge me until tomorrow ref 500KG on a Beech 1900 freighter. I'll ask around my DG instructors. I believe that since the rear cabin of your aircraft IS accessible, the 500KG rule is in effect.
Hope of some help - have a look tomorrow afternoon Z-time for more.
