PMC / P6P FAQ

The PMC / P6P is a main-deck pallet with the IATA code P6P, rated Type 2BG. The same unit also appears under PMC, which are the prefixes different airlines assign to it.

Around 11.5 @ 64in / 17.0 @ 96in / 21.2 @ 118in m³ of usable volume, up to 6,804 kg gross — the unit and its cargo together. The unit itself weighs 120 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.
