Brett,

          I have moved my dogs about in aircraft I have been assured by the airlines that the Boeing luggage compartment

pressures are the same as the cabin. Makes sense, if they were different the aircraft would require another pressure

bulkhead between the two areas, this would add unwanted weight to the aircraft.  Usually cabin pressure on the jets

is about 8000ft.

 

From memory older aircraft like the DC9-30 did not have pressurised cargo/luggage compartments.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Luggage compartment pressure in commercial flights

 

I recall several postings a while back on cabin pressures in commercial flights.  The discussion was around typical cabin pressures.  I’m interested in knowing more about typical pressures in luggage compartments, and specifically about the rate of change of pressure during a flight.  Anyone know somebody who could point me at a source of logged pressurization graphs? Or even a specification for how transported goods must be able to cope with pressure changes?

Cheers

Brett Kettle
