Icarus: with my previous previsos; 200KG per HOLD. The restriction comes from protecting not dangerous in itself.
I'm sticking my neck out a bit on this, but never mind. Good reason to delve into the DG manual again.
Someone mentioned above that DG was not the ground handling staff since UN1845 CO2 is cockpit crew's business. Suggest a rethink on that attitude - it is OUR business. 4 people put their names to DG;
-The shipper who declares the stuff
-The airline "checking agent" (paperwork/packaging)
-The Loadmaster (on -F aeroplanes) - correctly loaded, not leaking/damaged & correctly reported (NOTOC).
-The CAPTAIN - who carries the can if all of above screw up.
Another edit for 737SS: Suggest getting Beech's input on this. IATA will NEVER let themselves be tied down when it comes to this kind of question. You just have to look at all the vague terminology in the DG book!
