When storing carry-on baggage in closets, what must be true?

• A. It must be within placarded weight restrictions and secured with a door that can be latched
• B. It must be stored behind a seat
• C. It can be placed anywhere
• D. It must be checked by maintenance

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that carry-on baggage stored in closets must be kept within the placarded weight for that storage area and the door must be latched to stay secured. Keeping items within the weight limit prevents overloading the compartment and helps avoid door damage or items shifting during turbulence. Securing the door ensures baggage can’t spill out or become a hazard if the aircraft moves or experiences unexpected maneuvers. The other options don’t fit because baggage in closets isn’t just anywhere, and it isn’t something that requires maintenance to check during flight; separate storage rules apply to other areas, and unlatched or overweight baggage would violate safety procedures.
