Main Deck Baggage System Integration on McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30

Jetaire integrated a Class D Main Deck Baggage System into a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30. The ball mat floor bulk stowage compartment system was designed to replace 50 aft passenger seats and load through Door 4L. The modification removed passenger seating, the G6 aft galley, and overhead stowage and relocated the aft attendant station. Jetaire designed cover plates, disconnect brackets and patch cables, bulkheads, ceiling panels, closeouts, trim, and other interior integration components. Jetaire also created installation instructions and interface drawings to MDC specifications that deactivated systems, modified the passenger and attendant utilities, and updated the exit path marking system. Due to relocation of emergency systems, certification documentation for the engineering design was extensive. Test and maintenance procedures were generated for MDC, along with weight and balance and electrical load analysis recalculations for the DC-10-30 aircraft.
