Baggage may be loaded with engine started under which condition?

• A. Baggage may be loaded with engine #2 started
• B. Baggage may be loaded after engines started
• C. Baggage may be loaded with engines running
• D. Baggage may be loaded with engine #1 started

Answer: (D)

When handling baggage near the aircraft, safety around engines is about controlling jet blast and foreign object risk. The procedure allows baggage to be loaded when the engine on the side of the baggage door has started, while the other engine remains off. This creates a predictable, limited blast zone and reduces the risk to crew and bags compared with having both engines running or starting from a state where the blast could affect the loading area. So, baggage may be loaded with the left-hand engine started, not while the other engine is running or after both engines have started.
