What is a requirement for carrying cargo under 14 CFR Part 121?

The requirement that allows cargo to be carried aft of a divider, provided it is secured properly, aligns with safety regulations established under 14 CFR Part 121. This regulation recognizes that while the safe transport of cargo is paramount, there is flexibility regarding the positioning of cargo as long as it is properly secured to prevent movement during flight. This ensures that no hazardous conditions are created due to shifting cargo, which might compromise the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

Cargo placement is also subject to overall weight and balance considerations, and securing cargo is crucial to prevent any potential hazards that could arise from loose or improperly stowed material. Ensuring that it is secured properly demonstrates compliance with safety requirements while allowing for efficient use of space in the aircraft's cargo area.
