What occurs in cargo loading systems during a power loss?

In the event of a power loss in cargo loading systems, the system typically switches to a manual mode. This functionality is critical to ensure that loading operations can continue safely and efficiently, even when automated systems are compromised. Manual mode allows ground crew or operators to take control of the situation, ensuring that cargo can be loaded or unloaded as needed without being entirely halted due to the loss of power.

This capability is essential for maintaining safety and operational efficiency, especially in scenarios where delays can lead to increased costs or safety risks. Other options suggest either a complete shutdown, which would be impractical in critical operations, or outcomes related to weight limits and automatic resume protocols that do not apply in scenarios of power loss. Thus, switching to manual mode is a practical and crucial response that allows continued operation under less-than-ideal conditions.
