Which term is used to refer to the cargo mail carried on the aircraft?

• A. Crew Resource Management
• B. Calendar Day
• C. Bank
• D. Comat

Answer: (D)

COMAT refers to the airline’s internal shipments, labeled Company Material, which can include mail and spare parts carried on the aircraft. This designation helps crew and operations distinguish these internal items from passenger baggage and from regular external freight. COMAT items are tracked in the flight’s cargo or company manifest and follow specific handling and security procedures. In practice, you’ll see this term used whenever the airline needs to move company-owned mail or parts between stations on a flight. Because of that, Comat is the correct term for cargo mail carried on the aircraft.
