Spectrum Aeromed receives certification for PC-24 configuration
The configuration, designed for emergency medical services (EMS), was designed to take two patients at a time
Spectrum Aeromed has confirmed that its new EMS configuration for the Pilatus PC-24 fixed-wing jet has received approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The company said the configuration’s interior is designed to offer a high level of “access and flexibility” for both “rapid-response situations, or complex, longer-distance transfers”. It is capable of accommodating up to two patients at a time.
For basic transport, the configuration can be equipped with secure stretcher kits, while for more intense cases, there are also a range of “advanced critical care modules with pneumatic and electrical capabilities”.
Spectrum Aeromed also said that there are also a number of custom configurations available, including “overheads and Medwalls with extra pneumatic ports” to improve mission flexibility.
Other options include mounts for medical devices, infant transport decks, and an optional aft cargo net for securing patient loaders.
Spectrum Aeromed also recently installed its new liquid oxygen equipment into one of Life Flight Network’s PC-12s.
