Abstract: A locking system for fixing at least one transport unit for cargo items in an aircraft. The locking system includes a plurality of locking devices and at least one actuating device. Each locking device has at least one locking element for fixing and releasing the transport unit at least one predetermined position and is displaceable in a displacement direction between a fixing position and a release position. The at least one actuating device has at least one actuating unit for initiating an actuating movement and at least one sliding unit for displacing the locking element. The actuating unit is connected to the sliding unit for transmitting the actuating movement by means of at least one transmission section extending transversely to the displacement direction. The sliding unit is mechanically coupled to the locking element to transmit the actuating movement and to move the locking element between the fixing position and the release position.

Abstract: A control device for a cargo loading system on a cargo deck of a cargo aircraft. The control device includes a plurality of selection switch elements each for selecting a loading configuration from a plurality of possible loading configurations, at least one first indicator device, comprising a display for outputting an at least partial depiction of the cargo deck, at least one second indicator device to be arranged (directly) on the cargo deck, in particular on system components of the cargo loading system, and a computing unit. The computing unit is configured to: a) determine a selected loading configuration based on signals from at least some of the selection switch elements; b) using the selected loading configuration, determine an identification region on the cargo deck and/or an identification selection of system components; and c) visualize the identification region and/or the identification selection using the first indicator device and the second indicator device (simultaneously).
