View Full Version : Help!! How To Secure 9g Tie Downs
Anyone can guide me on how to secure a 9G tie down onto Rigid Cargo on a B747F?
9G??? What for?
Max required per W & B manual is 2.1 vertical...
Some Airline has this peculiar requirement thats recommended by Boeing. Any Rigid Cargo with weight or 5K and more will require a 9G tie-down or must be cushioned with loaded units of frangible cargo up to 96" height in the first 7 forward position in the MD.:{ Any clue?:sad:

Good luck
WA:ok:
Yeah... use a lot a straps.... multiply your cargo weight by 9, then divide by the strap rating to give the required tie-downs. One strap equals two tie downs if you attach it floor to floor, one if from pallet to floor.
Sounds like another SQ stupidity. :suspect:
Your'e right guys. It's kinda confusin me:confused:

Thats a nasty job doing a 9 g tie down ...........
especially if you dont have your straps under lock and key !!
Don t you expect the flights to be fully fitted with frangible cargo
in the 1st 7 positions?
Good luck
Hi 42ongo
That's exactly the issue. No frangible cargo units in the 1st 7 forward.:ugh:

The boeing manual shows a special net to use if there is no fragable cargo.
