What is the maximum load capacity of the MCD stairs?

The maximum load capacity of the MCD (Main Cargo Door) stairs is set to 1000 lbs. This specification is crucial for ensuring the safety of both the passengers and the crew when using the stairs for boarding or deplaning.

Understanding this load limit helps flight attendants monitor and manage the number of passengers or the types of cargo that are assisted via the MCD stairs. Exceeding this weight could risk compromising the structural integrity of the stairs and result in potential safety hazards during operations.

Awareness of such specifications is essential for flight attendants to perform their duties safely and efficiently.
