3. System Description
A. Sidewall Linings and Ceiling Panels
The sidewall linings and ceiling panels in the forward cargo compartment prevent damage to the aircraft structure. They are made of flame-resistant synthetic material and permit fast decompression. The sidewall linings and ceiling panels are attached with quick-release fasteners to:
The sidewall linings and ceiling panels are a sandwich construction. They are made of honeycomb core, which is bonded between prepreg layers.

B. Ceiling Panels with the Decompression Function
Ceiling panels with the decompression function (blow out) are part of the cargo compartment linings. If the decompression occurs, the new lining panels fasteners will release the panels in the cargo compartment. The pressure in the venting area, between the cabin and the lower deck will be the same.

C. Deflector Strips
Deflector strips are installed at the center of the ceiling panels in the cargo compartment. The deflector strips keep a clearance between the top of the cargo and the components of the smoke detection and fire extinguishing system. The deflector strips also make sure that the decompression panels for a fast decompression can open.

D. Smoke Detector Panel
The forward cargo compartment is completed with the smoke detection system. The ceiling panel has therefore a cutout for the smoke detector panel. The smoke detector panel are installed at the center of the ceiling panel between FR29 and RR30 and between FR35 and FR35.1.

E. Air Conditioning Inlets and Outlet
The left and right sidewall linings have cutouts (inlets and outlet) for the air conditioning of the FWD cargo compartment. The air conditioning system moves air into the FWD cargo compartment and keeps it at specified temperatures. The access panel between FR29 and FR30 give access to the extraction components of the air conditioning system.

F. Rapid Decompression Panels
Rapid decompression panels (blow-in and blow-out) are part of the cargo compartment linings. They are installed in the cutouts of the ceiling panels and the lateral right sidewall lining at FR28.
Catch assemblies hold them in the cutouts. The rapid decompression panels are sealed to the ceiling panels and to the sidewall lining with adhesive tape.

NOTE: When it is necessary to repair a decompression panel refer to chapter 25500008.
G. Divider Net and Door Net
There are two types of nets installed in the forward cargo compartment. The divider net divides the cargo compartments into sections. The door net prevents damage to the cargo compartment door. The door net and the divider net are attached to the tie-down and net attachment points.

H. Tie-Down and Net Attachment Points
Screws attach the tie-down and net attachment points to the fuselage structure. These attachment points are used for:

- The attachment of the door and divider net.
- The attachment of the straps which hold large or small items of bulk cargo.
I. Loading Area Light
The loading area light is a spotlight and is installed in the ceiling panel at the forward cargo compartment door. The intensity of the loading area light permits to read labels on equipment near the cargo compartment door.

J. Cargo Compartment Lighting
The forward cargo compartment has a lighting system with neon tubes and is installed in the center of the ceiling panel. Toggle switches installed at the FWD cargo compartment door control the lighting system.
