Abstract: A cargo loading and monitoring system for an aircraft having a plurality of separate cargo compartments includes a processor in communication with a plurality of power drive units located within a first cargo compartment. A cargo monitoring display unit is located in a second cargo compartment that is separate from the first cargo compartment, and is in communication with the processor. The cargo monitoring display unit is configured to selectively display information received from the power drive units.

Abstract: An integrated cargo loading and video monitoring system for an aircraft having at least one cargo compartment is disclosed. The system includes a cargo loading processor and a plurality of power drive units within the cargo compartment, each power drive unit being coupled to the cargo loading processor. The system also includes a video processor, and at least one video camera within the cargo compartment, the camera being coupled to the video processor. A central processor in communication with the cargo loading processor and the video processor is operable to receive information from both the cargo loading processor and from the video processor.
