Q5 Contour — Main Deck Contour Limits

A 299.7 cm (118 in) main-deck contour recorded in carrier loading tables. No published IATA letter could be confirmed for Q5, so treat the whole profile as indicative only.

Industry label: Q5
IATA contour letter: Not establishedNo IATA letter could be matched to this label in published sources.
Deck: Main Deck
Maximum height: 299.7 cm / 118 in
Base width: 243.8 cm / 96 in
Base length: 317.5 cm / 125 in
Where the taper starts: 244 cm / 96.1 inFull width is carried up to 244 cm, then the section narrows toward the top.

Permitted width at height

Read as: at the stated height above the pallet or container floor, this is the maximum overall width the build may occupy. A load that exceeds any single row is out of contour, even if it is under the maximum height.

Verification status

Aircraft

Positions accepting this contour are recorded on: B747F, B777F. A main-deck contour is never a lower-deck limit — the same PMC that takes 116 in or 118 in on a freighter main deck is limited to about 64 in in a wide-body passenger belly.

Aircraft	Type	Main deck	Lower deck
Boeing 747-8F	Freighter	33 positions · 317.5 cm wide	32 positions · 162.6 cm limit
Boeing 777F	Freighter	27 positions · 317.5 cm wide	28 positions · 162.6 cm limit
