Medical Oxygen STC achieved for Leonardo AW169
It has been an extremely busy period for Flight Structures and we are delighted that we gained a second AW169 STC in 2019. This system was developed in conjunction with Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust (ARHT). The system stores the oxygen cylinder remote from the main cabin, with access from an external door. A contents monitor is in the main cabin which is visible by the medical crew from all seated positions. A low pressure alarm and shut off valve are provided for added safety. Two outlets in the ceiling can supply a ventilator and / or patient mask and are positioned perfectly to suit the patient on the Flight Structures RULS stretcher system.
