Aircraft Medical Equipment

Every RFDS aircraft contains a customized and permanent aeromedical fitout including stretchers, patient loading system, storage, communications and medical oxygen, suction and electrical power.

Current aircraft are outfitted with either AFTS (Australian Flight Test Systems) stretchers and stretcher loading device, or the Lifeport stretcher and loading system.

The interior of a typical aircraft is show in the image below.  More details on each aspect of our fitout can be found in the items listed in the list on the left.
