IATA Training Practice Exam

The quantity limit you use depends on where the package is allowed to travel. There are separate columns in the packing instruction table for different aircraft categories so handlers know exactly how much can be in one package depending on the flight type.

If the shipment may be carried on either passenger and cargo aircraft, you use the column labeled for Passenger and Cargo Aircraft. This column shows the maximum net quantity per package applicable when the package could be flown on either type of aircraft, reflecting the limit you must not exceed in that mixed-mode scenario.

The other columns apply to different cases: Cargo Aircraft Only applies when the shipment is restricted to cargo flights, and the Limited Quantity columns apply when the shipment qualifies for LQ provisions with their own smaller limits. These are not the scenario described, where the package could operate on both passenger and cargo services.

So the column for Passenger and Cargo Aircraft is the correct one to determine the maximum net quantity per package for shipments that can travel on either type of aircraft.
