Further cementing the Pilatus PC-24’s emergency medical service (EMS) role, the FAA has approved the use of Spectrum Aeromed air ambulance equipment for the twinjet, which can carry two patients simultaneously.&nbsp;
The PC-24 can carry certified medical equipment tailored to the needs of patients. These range from secure stretcher kits to advanced critical care modules with electric and pneumatic capabilities.
Spectrum Aeromed can supply custom configurations such as overheads and Medwalls with extra pneumatic ports, the company explained, “allowing for flexible mission setups.” Various options are also available, including infant transport decks and an aft cargo net to secure patient loaders.&nbsp;
"We’re excited to offer our certified equipment for the PC-24, a jet that is an ideal platform for EMS missions,” said&nbsp;Thomas Redder, v-p of international sales at Fargo, North Dakota-based Spectrum Aeromed. “We are proud to support operators in maximizing their potential with versatile medical configurations.”&nbsp;
The PC-24 can fly up to 2,000 nm with six passengers and its large aft cargo door, measuring 4-foot, 1-inch-wide and 4-foot, 3-inches-high, makes loading equipment and patients much easier. At 501 cu ft, the jet’s cabin volume is the largest in the light jet category.

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
