Descripción de procedimiento de ingeniería para la instalación de una camilla portable bajo una alteración mayor basada en un Certificado Tipo Suplementario (STC) - SA2-1178 para la aeronave CESSNA P 206

Abstract

The department of Amazonas is located in the south of Colombia, an area that, due to its large amount of vegetation, complicates the operation of the aircraft that come from the center of the country, affecting both overflights and landings in the region that remain the aircraft with The capacity to operate in these places is done by the passengers, cargo and mail of this department. In this way, being able to reach this limited area, causing little connection to the cities in the center of the country. In this jungle area of the Amazon is the city of Leticia, which shares a border with the city of Tabatinga, in Brazil; the country that has been greatly affected in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leticia has category I and II health centers, which have been in serious trouble due to lack of equipment and capacity concerning the number of people infected in the region. For this reason, the implementation of a portable stretcher is proposed to a normal category aircraft (FAR 23) CESSNA P 206, through a supplement to the type certificate (STC) "SA-2-1178", made by the company AVFAB (Aviation Fabricators. Inc). To convert normal category aircraft to the normal category "Airplane Ambulance" providing the service in the Amazons and change the transfer of patients infected with COVID-19 to larger cities such as Cali or Bogotá, cities whose health service, type III, can have a greater impact on patients. This implementation of an ambulance plane will require an engineering procedure in which it is contemplated: plans, a calculation of weight and balance for the aircraft, identification of the removal chairs and anchorage points of the portable stretcher through technical data, being This is a major alteration that will provide aid to the crisis experienced as a result of the pandemic.
