1. General
The AFT cargo hold is below the passenger compartment in Zone 150/160 between the fixed partitions FR47.2 and FR65. A divider net divides the AFT cargo hold into two compartments. They are known as cargo compartments 4 and 5. The cargo compartment 5 is also known as the BULK cargo compartment. The total volume of the aft/bulk cargo compartment is 1151 ft.3 (32.593 m3).
The AFT cargo compartment door, between FR52A and FR56, gives access to the cargo compartment 4. The BULK cargo compartment door, between FR60 and FR62, gives access to the cargo compartment 5.
The aft/bulk cargo compartments have:

3. Description and Operation
A. Sidewall Linings and Ceiling Panels
The sidewall linings and ceiling panels in the aft 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 and Sidewall 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. Air Conditioning Inlets and Outlets
The sidewall linings and the fixed partition FR65 have cutouts (inlets and outlets) for the air conditioning of the aft cargo compartment. The air conditioning system moves air into the aft and the BULK cargo compartment and keeps it at specified temperatures.

D. Deflector Strips
Deflector strips are installed at the center of the ceiling panels in the aft and the bulk cargo compartment. The deflector strips keep a clearance between the top of the cargo and the ceiling panels. The deflector strips also make sure that the decompression panels for a fast decompression can open.

E. Smoke Detector Panels
The aft and the bulk cargo compartments are completed with the smoke detection system. The ceiling panels have therefore cutouts for the smoke detector panels. They are installed at the center of the ceiling panels between FR48 and FR49, FR52 and FR53, FR56 and FR57 and between FR62 and FR63.

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 lateral right sidewall lining at FR52A and FR56. 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.

G. Divider Nets and Door Nets
There are two types of nets installed in the AFT cargo hold. The divider net at FR59 divides the cargo hold into the AFT and the BULK cargo compartment. The divider nets at FR47.5 and FR53 divides the AFT cargo compartment in three 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.
There are three types of nets installed in the aft cargo hold. The divider net at FR59 divides the cargo hold into the aft and the bulk cargo compartment. The divider net at FR53 divides the aft cargo compartment into two sections. The divider net at FR50 is installed if the aft cargo compartment is equipped with ACT1. If the aft cargo compartment is not equipped with ACT the divider net is installed at FR47.5. The door nets prevent damage to the cargo compartment doors. The door nets and the divider nets 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:
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 nets.
- 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 aft cargo-compartment door. The intensity of the loading area light permit persons to read labels on equipment near the cargo-compartment door.

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