This Aerospace Standard (AS) provides dimensional, structural, and environmental requirements for 2.44 m (8 ft) wide pallets to be used in freighter versions of certificated aircraft equipped to provide restraint to pallets tested to the requirements of NAS 3610 Class II restraint system. It is also intended to be compatible with 2.44 m x 2.44 m (8 ft x 8 ft) cross section containers described in AS832. The Type C adapter pallet is intended to be compatible with 2.44 m x 2.44 m (8 ft x 8 ft) cross section containers described in ANSI MH 5.1, Cargo Containers and ISO 1496 Series 1, Freight Containers. Pallet nets used in conjunction with these pallets are described in AS1131. The minimum essential criteria are identified by use of the key word "shall". Recommended criteria are identified by use of the key word "should", and while not mandatory, are considered to be of primary importance in providing serviceable, economical, and practical air transport pallets. Deviation from recommended criteria should occur only after careful consideration, extensive testing, and thorough service evaluation have shown alternate methods to be satisfactory.
