When they are transported under these provisions, such goods are called “dangerous goods in excepted quantities”. They are subject to IATA DGR subsection 2.6. (or IATA DGR subsection 10.5.8. for excepted packages of radioactive material are forbidden on any airberlin group aircraft). Dangerous goods in excepted quantities are not permitted in or as checked or carry-on baggage nor in mail. It is the shipper’s responsibility, to ensure before offering to the operator that a package containing dangerous goods in excepted quantities will withstand normal conditions of air transport and will not require any special handling, stowage or storage conditions which might necessitate shading from direct sunlight, ventilation, storage away from heat or segregation requirements, etc. For detailed Quantity limits of dangerous goods in excepted quantities: refer to IATA DGR Table 2.6.A. Code E0 E1 E2 E3 E4 E5 Maximum net quantity Maximum net quantity per inner packaging per outer packaging Not permitted as Excepted Quantity 30 g/30 mL 1 kg/1 L 30 g/30 mL 500 g/500 mL 30 g/30 mL 300 g/300 mL 1 g/1 mL 500 g/500 mL 1 g/1 mL 300 g/300 mL Filename: GHM 14.03 DG update.doc information only – not primary source - refer to the current online version of GHM Revision: ORIG Effective Date: 07.April.2014 ABFB-004, Rev. 6 Ground Handling Manual Number : GHM 14.03 Notice of proposed Revision Page : 16 of 23 A package containing dangerous goods in excepted quantities shall not contain other dangerous goods that require a shipper’s declaration. For packing requirements and package test refer to IATA DGR 2.6. Dangerous goods in excepted quantities are identified by a Excepted Quantities Label, which replaces all other marking, labeling and documentation requirements. Shippers Declaration for Dangerous Goods and NOTOC are not required. Note: AWB is required IMP code: REQ The label must be completed by the shipper ( * and ** ) and must have a minimum dimension of 100 x 100 mm, the hatching and symbol of the same color in black or red, on white or suitable contrasting background. * ** the class or division number(s) must be shown in this location the name of the shipper or of the consignee must be shown in this loacation, if not shown elsewhere on the package The package must have at least two of the three outside dimension of 100 mm, in case of a cylinder the minimum height and diameter must be 100 mm. replace 6.5.17.8.1 Conditions of Vehicles the vehicle must be drained of fuel as far as practicable and if any fuel remains it must not exceed ¼ of the tank capacity. The dangerous goods acceptance check includes the task of performing a visual and acoustical check of the fuel tank ensuring that the tank is emptied and fuel remains inside the injection or carburetor system only. installed batteries must be securely fastened in the battery holder or to the frame in an upright position. The battery terminals must be protected in such a manner as to prevent damage and short circuits. vehicles equipped with theft-protection devices, installed radio communication equipment or navigational system must have such devices, equipment or system disabled serviceable tires are not restricted, damaged tires must be totally deflated. keys must be inside the unlocked car, easily accessible for onloading outside attached to the wiper at driver side with a binder or elastic strap additional bags or cases affixed to a motorcycle or the car, and trunk must be unlocked for inspections through cargo staff and customs. motorcycles must be cleaned and all systems (fuel, oil, hydraulic) must be tight. labeling is not required when the vehicle is not fully enclosed by packing, crates or other means that prevent theready identification of a motorcycle or car. accepted motorcycles shall be secured by standard lashing on a motorcycle-pallet (available through Cargo GSA) or an equal pallet. For containerized aircraft the respective ULD has to be used Filename: GHM 14.03 DG update.doc information only – not primary source - refer to the current online version of GHM Revision: ORIG Effective Date: 07.April.2014 ABFB-004, Rev. 6 Ground Handling Manual Number : GHM 14.03 Notice of proposed Revision Page : 17 of 23 replace 6.5.17.8.3 Loading of Cars Due to the size of cars, transportation is only possible on A330-200 aircraft. Maximum length for A330-200 4,80 5,19 m loadable FWD, exceptional AFT Cars may be loaded in the cargo compartment as non-unitized cargo on normal secured pallets. The procedure describes the loading in A330-200. Ground handling of car After dangerous goods acceptance check the car must be positioned on long wooden planks on the aircraft pallet, to avoid a bending of the pallet and the rims must be tied-down to the pallet for secured ground transportation. Loading accessories Wooden planks, tiedown fittings, straps and an additional pallet for ground transportation and loading must be available before loading. ULD preparation As the pallet with the car moves over the secured pallet inside the cargo compartment, this pallet should only be secured at the wall and no net fittings should be fixed on the forward side to enable a smooth movement of the sliding onloading pallet (as well as offloading). Notification to next station The loadcodes BIG and RMD has to be used on NOTOC, load statements, loading instructions and load- and trimsheets and all messages. Onloading PAJ/PMC pallets, secured by the relevant latches, must make the floor on which the car drives with own power into the hold. Between the latch gaps of the pallets, wooden supporting planks must be placed, to avoid any punctual pressure from the tires to the a/c floor as the design will not withstand this forces. The ballmat (entry) area is designed for these forces and the car may drive there. The entry area of A330-200 is half covered of the pallet secured on position 11P but this does not affect the loading. The car will be placed on a pallet and lifted to the entry and the pallet will be taken half in the entry area (overlaying the securedpallet of position 11P on the left side). Then the driver will steer to maximum left into the hold as far as possible, thepallet will be moved more inward and the procedure will be repeated until the car is straight on the centerline of the hold(facing aft). Therefore the pallet acts as an additional steering of the rear axle. All four rims must be tied-down by normal straps (special wheel straps are not required and not used) to the two pallets and the planks must be taken out of the gaps and tied-down separately.

The supporting planks must be placed between the latch gaps of the pallets and the straps will be opened. The car will be maneuvered (own power) backwards on this pallet with its rear axle. The pallet will be pulled outward a little bit and the driver maneuvers the car. This procedure will be repeated until the car is straight on the pallet.
