Air Express A "premium fee for special handling" is an example of a(n) Exception Rate The three characteristics defining "Air Eligibility" include the nature of the Commodity, Demand, Distribution Problems A "discounted rate for specific O-D pairs" is an example of a(n) Specific Commodity Rate "ULDs" are more commonly known as Air Freight Containers The three types of Air Freight services are generally classified as Air Mail, Air Express, Air Freight "Air Eligibility" increase when demand for the item is infrequent The creation of the "Integrated" concept of air freight service addressed the Air mode shortfall (disadvantage) on the dimension of accessibility "DimWeight" is used to calculate air freight rates for less dense products Under General Commodity Air Freight Rate calculations, the rate per lb-mile goes down as distance increases The modern "integrated carrier concept" grew out of the _____ class of service from the 1930s. Air Express "Air Eligibility" increases when the commodity is perishable (physical or value) During transportation mode selection, Air has advantages on the dimensions of speed, reliability, and security A "Standard Density" for the purposes of calculating DimWeight represents the density (lbs/cubic inches) of a shipment that would _____ and _____ before takeoff. fill the cargo hold, use available useful weight "Domestic shipments transferred between two or more carriers" would be billed at a(n) Joint Rate Product types that represent the market for air freight include items that are perishable The weight of dollies, frames, containers, and carts that facilitate loading and unloading but are not being shipped is known as weight tare Cargo compartments not designated for to accept ULDs are called Bulk compartments "Cargo that is not contained in a ULD certified for the aircraft CLS nor enclosed in a compartment certified for bulk loading" is referred to as Special Cargo Unit Load Devices (ULDs) include both Containers and Pallet-Net combinations In AC 120-85B Chapter 2, the Cargo Compartment of each aircraft is classified under three main focus areas: Fire Suppression, Cargo Loading System (CLS) components, Nets and Smoke Barriers Transportation of a motor vehicle or "outsized" cargo requires compliance with _____ rules and requirements. Special Cargo Cargo that is positioned to exceed CG limits of a pallet, overhang a pallet, is outsized, sharp or unusually shaped, or secured to the aircraft structure by not the CLS is considered to be Special Cargo Cargo weigh scales must be regularly tested to ensure accuracy of ± 1% In AC 120-85B Chapter 2, areas of the cargo compartment classified as E for fire suppression are those airplanes used only for the carriage of cargo The purpose of AC 120-85B is to provide operators with recommended procedures for managing air cargo operations In AC 120-85B Chapter 2, areas of the cargo compartment classified as C for fire suppression are those having active detection and suppression systems A Unit Load Device (ULD) that meets the requirements of TSO-C90, a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC), or other FAA-approved standards are called Certified ULDs A Unit Load Device (ULD) is a means of grouping, transferring, and restraining cargo for transit Examples of restraining ULDs by the aircraft CLS include pallet locks and side guides A cargo pallet net is the only restraint device that takes the shape of the cargo while restraining the load in all directions The Advisory Circular that "provides operators with recommended procedures for managing cargo operations" is AC 120-85B In AC 120-85B Chapter 2, the _____ translates the DAH W&B manual into operational procedures for handling air freight. Weight and Balance Control Program Certification and documentation that all cargo has been properly loaded and secured is required for each leg of every flight carrying cargo/baggage The purpose of a ULD or cargo restraint device "serviceability check" is to ensure the device to not have damage greater than their specified limits The Operators Evaluation System for W&B Control can be typically managed under the existing Continuing Analysis and Surveillance System for maintenance (CASS) Devices that prevent cargo from shifting or stabilize cargo to a pallet or container are Supplemental Restraints Unit Load Devices are used ONLY in areas of the cargo compartment with restraint systems classified as appropriate for that specific equipment It is the primary responsibility of the _____ to ensure cargo weights are accurate and documented. Operator The Advisory Circular that "provides operators with recommended procedures for managing cargo operations" is AC 120-85B An Operator should have a system in place to perform audits of a third-party vendor at regular intervals in line with their own SMS process In AC 120-85B Chapter 2, areas of the cargo compartment classified as A & B for fire suppression are those accessible to flight crew for firefighting Devices that restrain cargo payloads to the aircraft structure through the CLS or tiedown points are Primary Restraints Minimum performance standards defined by the FAA for cargo restraints are found in TSO-C172 To be authorized for carriage, a ULD must be defined in the DAH and Operator's WBM for that aircraft Detailed procedures for the buildup of Unit Load Devices and associated cargo restraint systems are the responsibility of the Operator The audience for AC 120-85B includes air carriers and Operating Certificate holders conducting cargo operations Transferring cargo from one operator to another is called interlining An Operator uses an FAA certified third-party intermediary responsible for freight consolidation and ULD build-up for a USPS mail contract. In the event of a violation, the _____ is ultimately responsible. the Operator The Operators "foundation for safely transporting air cargo" is the Cargo Operations Program (COP) ULDs that include battery-powered systems such as temperature control and fire suppression are called Active ULDs Cargo feeder aircraft are typically used to move smaller loads between regional airports and main hubs A "Combi" aircraft has both _______________ and on the aircraft's main deck passenger seats, CLS Converting passenger aircraft to a freighter configuration includes removing passenger seats and amenities, installing or modifying fire detection/suppression systems, AND installing main-deck Cargo Loading System (CLS) equipment Operational considerations for determining the type of freighter aircraft to use include payload vs. range trade-offs, network structure, AND day of week or airport altitude scheduling factors The different types commercial aircraft that carry cargo include freighters, feeder aircraft, AND passenger/belly cargo Examples of cargo feeder aircraft include C-208 Caravan, ATR 72, CRJ 200SF Passenger to cargo aircraft conversions typically occur at the 18 to 20 year-point, resulting in an additional years of life remaining 10-15 Freighter aircraft generate of air cargo revenue while carrying only of air cargo traffic. 90%, 50% Boeing's World Air Cargo Forecast key economic indicators influencing air cargo demand include global GDP growth, industrial production growth, AND global trade growth Passenger to cargo aircraft conversions typically occur at the -year point, resulting in an additional years 10-15 years of life remaining 18-20 The different types commercial aircraft that carry cargo include freighters, passenger/belly cargo, AND feeder aircraft Current freighter aircraft are modifications of passenger aircraft designs. Examples of STANDARD-body aircraft conversions would be A320, B737
