Clinton, MO – September 28, 2018 – Aviation Fabricators (AvFab) recently announced they have received Technical Standard Orders (FAA TSO-C39b Type 2) approval for the installation of their medical stretcher in Dornier 228 aircraft from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

AvFab’s Dornier 228 Medical Stretcher Kit provides an operator with the option of transporting an ill or injured non-critical patient. These stretchers are ideal as an economical alternative to complete Medevac systems for the operator who doesn’t need critical care medical equipment.

“We saw a need for an entry-level Stretcher Kit that would benefit charter, or corporate, or even some private operators who could realize more utility from their Dornier 228 without having to purchase a full-blown medevac unit,” says AvFab’s G.R. Lowe, “No airframe modifications are required other than removing existing seats and furnishings from the desired location and setting the new stretcher assembly in the existing Dornier 228 seat track.”

Models are available for both left-hand and right-hand installation. Kit includes the stretcher, mattress, Ferno 12-1 adjustable patient litter, safety restraint system, complete installation instructions, diagrams and Continued Airworthiness data.
