You should also place the left hand against the closing cargo door to feel the gears lock into place. Never trust the light that signifies that the door is supposedly locked as the wiring could malfunction. This is what happened to United Airlines years ago when their forward cargo door blew off sucking passengers through the hole.

"Hold" and "compartment" arent the same. On a passenger 747 there are 3 holds. Forward hold is divided into 2 compartments (1 and 2). Aft hold is divided into compartment 3 and 4, and then there is the bulk hold or compartment 5. All compartments are devided into subsections. All this is only done to report weight load. Actually there are only 3 holds (on a passenger 747)
The same goes for the MD11 and most widebody passenger aircraft.

@kentoldhoj Do you also count the upper deck as a hold? (upstairs, behind the pilot on a 747).
I mean, if i count all holds, i can only count to 4 anyway. (main / belly front / belly rear / "tail belly") This goes for the 747s and MD11s in our fleet.

Depends on aircraft configuration. The most usual configuration of a widebody aircraft is 2 compartments forward(1 and 2), 2 compartments aft(3 and 4) and a compartment for bellyload in the tail called 5. Each compartment is devided into subsections. I work as a loadmaster in CPH.

Funny...at my job, we call Hold 5 different. We call it Belly 4
not really... i think people can use their common sense...they can't tell you every possible "abnormality."

The Hold 5 is the same as the 737 cargo doors except without the pulley release.
