LD-7 Folding Wings FAQ

The LD-7 Folding Wings is a lower-deck pallet with the IATA code PAD, rated Type 5. The same unit also appears under PAX, P1X, which are the prefixes different airlines assign to it.

Around 14 m³ of usable volume, up to 5,000 kg gross — the unit and its cargo together. The unit itself weighs 152 kg empty, so the payload is the difference between the two.

It is loaded on 747, 777, 787, DC-10, MD-11. A type is certified per aircraft and sometimes per door, so a unit that fits one freighter will not always fit another.

Track the shipment rather than the unit: the air waybill number is what the airline reports against. Enter it in the air tracking app, or make the same lookup one REST call with the API reference.
