A loading system for loading a cargo deck in a cargo space of an aircraft with cargo holders is proposed, in which there are provided two pairs of mounting tracks with support rollers and transverse cargo latches, a middle mounting rail for the attachment of transverse cargo latches, and rows of side-mounted transverse cargo latches. The distance between the outer mounting track of each pair of mounting, tracks and the middle mounting rail corresponds to a first, lesser fixation distance of relatively smaller cargo holders (LD2). The distance between the outer mounting track of one pair and the inner mounting track of the opposite pair corresponds to a second, greater transverse fixation distance of relatively larger cargo holders (LD3). As a result it is possible to load a cargo space optimally even if the construction of the aircraft produces constrictions of the cargo space.

1. A loading system for loading a cargo deck in a cargo space of an aircraft with standardized cargo holders comprising a plurality of support rollers for supporting a cargo holder and conveying it along a long axis of the cargo space of the aircraft; a plurality of roller drive units for propelling a cargo holder; a plurality of transverse cargo latches for fixing and locking a cargo holder into position in a direction transverse to said long axis; two pairs of mounting tracks for mounting the support rollers and said transverse cargo latches; a middle row of transverse cargo latches located between the two pairs of mounting tracks; a plurality of longitudinal cargo latches for fixing and locking a cargo holder into position in the direction of said long axis; and first and second rows of further side-mounted transverse cargo latches which are respectively located at a first outer edge of the cargo deck and at a second outer edge of the cargo deck on an opposite side to the first outer edge; the two pairs of mounting tracks being respectively disposed between the middle row and one of the first and the second rows of side-mounted transverse cargo latches, and each pair of mounting tracks comprising an outer mounting track and an inner mounting track, and the distance between the outer mounting track of each pair of mounting tracks and the middle row of transverse cargo latches corresponding to a first, lesser fixation distance of a first relatively smaller standardized cargo holder, and the distance between the outer mounting track of each pair of mounting tracks and the inner mounting track of the opposite pair of mounting tracks corresponding to a second, greater fixation distance of a second relatively larger standardized cargo holder. 2. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outer mounting tracks are constructed so that side-mounted transverse cargo latches can be mounted thereon. 3. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the distance between each of the first and second rows of side-mounted transverse cargo latches and the inner mounting track closest to that row corresponds to the first, lesser fixation distance. 4. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the distance between each of the first and second rows of side-mounted transverse cargo latches and the riddle row of transverse cargo latches corresponds to the second, greater fixation distance. 5. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the distance between each of the first and second rows of side-mounted transverse cargo latches and the transverse cargo latches mounted on the inner mounting track that is respectively closer to each of the second and first outer edge of the cargo deck corresponds to the second, greater fixation distance. 6. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein roller drive units are installed in the mounting tracks. 7. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cargo deck defines recesses in which roller drive units can be installed. 8. A loading system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the recesses are disposed between the inner and outer mounting tracks of the pairs of mounting tracks. 9. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mounting tracks are designed for the installation of longitudinal cargo latches. 10. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein braking rollers are provided in the mounting tracks. 11. A loading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein a drainage arrangement is provided and disposed so that water in or on at least one of the mounting tracks and the cargo deck can be conducted away.
