Abstract

Provided is a system in which a camera monitors safety of a galley arranged in a cabin of an aircraft. A galley 100 includes a storage space 130 of carts divided by structural members 110, and carts 150 are stored. Turn retainers 200 in closed positions prevent the carts 150 from flying out. Hinged doors 310 are attached to front sides of compartments 300, and latches 320 lock the hinged doors 310. A monitoring camera 500 determines safety or unsafety of the turn retainers 200 and the latches 320 by an image and displays the safety or unsafety on a display device 600 or on a PDA terminal device 800 carried by a cabin attendant CA.
