KC-46 Category 1 fault, indefinite restriction on passengers, cargo

WASHINGTON — In a move that could have major impacts on the already-delayed tanker program, the U.S. Air Force hasindefinitely barred the KC-46from carrying cargo and passengers, Defense News has learned.

The decision was made after an incident occurred where the cargo locks on the bottom of the floor of the aircraft became unlocked during a recent flight, creating concerns that airmen could potentially be hurt or even killed by heavy equipment that suddenly bursts free during a flight.
