When can cargo be placed aft of the rearmost seated passenger?

Cargo can be placed aft of the rearmost seated passenger when it is carried in an approved cargo bin. This is because these bins are specifically designed to secure cargo safely and effectively, ensuring that it does not interfere with passenger safety or aircraft operations. Approved cargo bins typically have features such as built-in restraints and are often designed to distribute the weight evenly, minimizing the risk of shifting during flight.

Using an approved cargo bin adheres to regulatory requirements set forth by aviation authorities, which mandate that cargo placement must not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants. Other options, while they may involve considerations for cargo safety, do not necessarily meet the specific regulatory criteria for placement behind the rearmost passenger seat. Therefore, the use of an approved cargo bin is the only condition that reliably allows for such placement while ensuring compliance and safety.
