Anyone out there with experience on this a/c ? (only every worked with 74s myself).

Some freight agent is claiming we should be able to load a piece of freight 362 x 342 x 235 cms, square box because "LH can".

Side-door on the 74 is 341cms in between the latches (and I won't go that close anyway, too much risk of damage).

Nose door also out of the question.

Is the MD11's side-door wider than the 74?

:confused:

indeed it appears to be

356x260 for the 11 as opposed to 305x340 for the jumbo (200 series)

from ups (http://www.aircargo.ups.com/aircargo/using/services/services/domestic/svc-aircraft.html)

406cm x 259cm (102 in x 160 in) as per the MD-11 Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning document http://www.boeing.com/assocproducts/aircompat/m11.htm

Finally, something I've got that Ratty hasn't...an MD11F licence! Can you do a 747 Combi?:= :ouch:
