Cargo planes must now stop cargo from hitting the ceiling

US aviation regulators are requiring changes to certain ATR cargo planes. This means cargo cannot be loaded all the way to the ceiling, which could damage the plane.

When passenger planes are converted to cargo planes, sometimes the rules about how to load them don't get updated. This document fixes a specific oversight: cargo could be stacked too high, potentially hitting the ceiling and damaging critical systems. It's a small but important detail that prevents structural failures in the air.
