LD-9 FAQ

The LD-9 is a lower-deck container with the IATA code AAP, rated Type 5. The same unit also appears under DAP, MAP, RAP, which are the prefixes different airlines assign to it.

Around 10.8 m³ of usable volume, up to 4624 (lower deck) / 6000 (main deck) kg gross — the unit and its cargo together. The unit itself weighs 215 (canvas) / 270 (solid) kg empty, so the payload is the difference between the two.

It is loaded on 747, 767, 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.
