Certified Aircraft ULDs
Airworthiness certification of a given type of aircraft ULD is obtained by the unit load device manufacturer from the airworthiness authority of the governing Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approving that the ULD container meets the required minimum performance standards for installation aboard an aircraft. The approval can in principle be obtained under different procedures in compliance with the detailed requirements listed in, e.g. U.S. FAA 14CFR Part 21, European EASA Part 21, or the Chinese CCAR-21.By far the most commonly used procedure for aircraft ULD certification is the Technical Standard Order (TSO) approval, e.g. TSO-C90, ETSO-C90, or CTSO-C90, materialized by issuance to the ULD container manufacturer of a TSO Authorization. It must be noted that the certification process is conducted solely between the ULD container manufacturer and the applicable regulatory authorities such as FAA and EASA. Mutual recognition of certification standards and procedures is dependent on the various bilateral agreements between regulatory authorities.
Certified aircraft ULDs are regarded as removable aircraft parts, structurally capable of fully restraining their load and providing adequate protection to the aircraft systems and structure during flight.
While the airworthiness certification of aircraft ULD covers the initial airworthiness requirements that a ULD container manufacturer must meet, it must be clarified that maintaining the continued airworthiness conditions of the aircraft ULD during daily operations should be the responsibility of all the parties involved.
According to Article 27 of the Aviation Safety Act, all equipment installed on aircraft must obtain type and manufacturing approval from the airworthiness authority.
We designs and manufactures certified aircraft cargo pallets and containers that conform to the minimum performance criteria of world standards and are sturdy and robust.
Global ULD manufacturers are producing various ULDs for work convenience and maintenance cost reduction.
ULD manufacturers are eager to reduce the weight of ULDs to save on jet fuel. However, we want to promote the development of new, more efficient ULDs through various initiatives.
FIT's world's first modular air cargo pallets are the right model to meet these requirements.
Arguably, a damaged ULD is significantly easier to repair than any other product. Replacing parts is the best way to extend the life of your equipment. Going forward, ULD users will save tremendous time and money in maintaining and operating their ULD.
FIT's modular air cargo pallets passed the rigorous examination by the Korean Intellectual Property Office and were recognized for their technological prowess and effectiveness, completing patent registration, and are currently applying for patents in major countries around the world.
