When securing cargo for flight, what is a key consideration?

Preventing movement during flight while adhering to safety guidelines is essential when securing cargo for aerial transport. This consideration is crucial because any movement of cargo can potentially lead to destabilization of the aircraft, compromise the safety of the crew and passengers, or cause damage to the cargo itself. It’s imperative that all items are properly restrained and secured to maintain the aircraft's balance and control during all phases of flight, including turbulence and maneuvers.

In addition to securing the cargo effectively, it's also important that this is done while following established safety guidelines to ensure compliance with regulations set forth by the DoD and aviation authorities. This not only protects the integrity of the cargo but also ensures that everyone involved in the operation remains safe throughout the flight.
