What is the per-package limit for CAO shipments under Section IB?

• A. 5 kg
• B. 10 kg
• C. 20 kg
• D. 35 kg

Answer: (B)

Section IB sets a per-package limit for CAO (Cargo Aircraft Only) shipments at 10 kilograms. This category allows a bit more payload per package than passenger-air shipments, reflecting the different safety and handling requirements of cargo-only flights, while still keeping each package within a manageable size and energy level. The 10 kg cap helps limit the potential impact if a package is damaged or subjected to an adverse event, supporting safer handling, packaging, and regulation compliance. The other weights would either be too restrictive for practical CAO-battery shipments or exceed safety/regulatory constraints for air transport on cargo aircraft.
