本SAE航空航天信息报告（AIR）提供了2006-04年发布的航空航天标准AS36100A（TSO待定）的预期正确使用说明，作为民用运输飞机上装载的航空货物单元装载装置（托盘、网和集装箱）适航性批准的技术参考。出于一致性和交叉检查的目的，它还包括正确使用行业普遍理解的先前NAS 3610的说明[1990年第10版，参考TSO C90c]。本AIR未提供AS36100A技术内容的详细背景或基本原理，这些内容分别在AIR36108、AS36100A背景和开发记录中提供。 AS36100A专门定义了一般几何参数（只要它们影响飞机上的约束）、最低性能要求和单元负载装置的测试参数。根据AS36100A第1.1段的规定，在设计单元负载装置时，还需要考虑其他方面，如持续适航性和维护要求、设计和测试方法、单元负载装置设计规范和附件，以及正确操作/使用和操作人员培训的规则，并在AIR36105A中列出的其他文件中涵盖。

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides instructions for intended proper use of Aerospace Standard AS36100A, published 2006-04 [TSO pending], as the technical reference for airworthiness approval of air cargo unit load devices (pallets, nets and containers) to be loaded on board civil transport aircraft. For consistency and cross-checking purposes, it also includes instructions for proper use of previous NAS 3610 [Revision 10, 1990, referenced in TSO C90c], as commonly understood by the industry.This AIR does not provide detailed background or rationale for the technical contents of AS36100A, which are separately provided in AIR36108, AS36100A background and development record.AS36100A exclusively defines the general geometric parameters (insofar as they affect restraint on board aircraft), minimum performance requirements and testing parameters of unit load devices. Additional areas as per AS36100A paragraph 1.1, such as continued airworthiness and maintenance requirements, design and testing methods, unit load devices design specifications and accessories, and rules for proper operation/utilization and operating staff training also need to be considered for designing unit load devices, and are covered by other documents, listed in AIR36105A.
