What is the under-seat cargo weight capacity per seat?

• A. 12 Pounds Per Seat
• B. 20 Pounds Per Seat
• C. 10 Pounds Per Seat
• D. 15 Pounds Per Seat

Answer: (A)

Under-seat cargo weight limits are defined per seat to prevent overloading any single seat area and to keep the cabin, floor structure, and evacuation path within safe limits. For the CRJ-550, the maximum load under each seat is 12 pounds. This per-seat limit ensures the seat frame and cushioning aren’t stressed by heavy items, helps maintain proper center of gravity, and keeps the space under seats clear for safe egress in an emergency. Heavier items belong in approved locations such as overhead bins or checked baggage stowage.
