What must be done if cargo blocks an emergency exit?

Cargo must not block an emergency exit unless it has received specific approval from CASA. This requirement is in place to ensure the safety of all passengers and crew on board. Emergency exits are crucial for efficient evacuation in an emergency situation, so having them unobstructed is essential for safety protocols.

Blocking these exits could significantly hinder escape routes and increase risks during emergencies, which is why regulations emphasize maintaining clear access to them. Cargo management is critical in aviation operations, and compliance with regulatory standards is a key aspect of pilot training and safety considerations. Maintaining such standards not only adheres to legal requirements but also promotes best practices in aviation safety.
