Abstract
Tiedown requirements in the weight and balance manuals for commercial aircraft are not necessarily easy to follow nor standard from one airplane model to the next. This paper takes the requirements for tiedown from many of the large commercial transport airplanes that are in common use today and publishes a simple, standardized format. This format is based upon a pictorial representation of the tiedown scheme and minimizes the need for measuring distances or estimating angles of tiedown straps. With this data, an operator can produce tiedown tables or charts for their fleet of airplanes. When data is presented in a simple and standardized format, increased confidence in tiedown techniques can be expected.
