The use of automated external defibrillators (AED) is essential to increase the chances of survival in case of a cardiac arrythmias such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (VT) when used in the first 10 minutes.

AMC1 CAT.IDE.A.220 (b) (4) stipulates that the aircraft operators should carry automated external defibrillator (AED) on board all aircraft equipped with a first-aid kit and required to carry at least one cabin crew.

Overview

Fokker Services offers a certified solution for the integration of Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), supporting modern navigation, surveillance, and performance-based operations. This upgrade ensures compliance with global mandates while delivering operational efficiency and precision.

Events related to aircraft missing over oceanic areas have led to several new requirements, amongst which is the introduction of a long-range Underwater Locator Device (ULD).

The ULD low frequency (8.8kHz) technology is used to increase the range at which aircraft submerged wreckage can be located.

It will be mounted on the aircraft structure free of sound absorbent materials and not in wing sections or empennage. The installation is in accordance with ARINC specification 667, which describes the removal, installation and maintenance aspects of an ULD installation.

Note that the ULD is not to be confused with the Underwater Locator Beacons (ULB) as installed on the CVR and FDRs. The ULD is complementary to the ULB and is mounted to the aircraft structure.

ICAO states that by January 1st 2018 aircrafts flying long range over water with a MTOW>27.000 kg must be equipped with an ULD. Long range over water is determined by the exceedance of the distance from a suitable emergency landing spot. The distance corresponds to 120 min at cruise speed or 400NM whichever is the lesser.

EASA states that by January 1st 2019 Passenger aircraft flying long range over water with a MTOW>27.000 kg and cargo aircraft with MTOW > 45.500kg must be equipped with an ULD. Long range over water is determined by a distance >180 NM from shore.

CARS 121 MOS 11.64 states that aircraft with a MTOW>27.000 kg carrying a life raft should have an ULD by December 2, 2023.

Other authorities have accepted similar rules.

Contracted to develop a 189 Y/C pax on B737-8 MAX, PMV Engineering received the final EASA STC less than 5 months after the first discussions with the lessor.

Prepared for portable IFE installation or any emergency equipement ?

Keeping the max overhead bin space for the use of passenger is a challenge on every aircraft. 

To optimize such precious space and to secure the IFE box, PMV Engineering has certified a easy-to-install, cost effective bin divider with its restraint system.

As part of lease return, phase-out, or aircraft transition processes, removal or reversal of previously installed STCs is often required. These could include obsolete systems, lessee-specific modifications, or customer-tailored configurations no longer applicable for the next operator.

Fokker Services provides certified engineering support for the full demodification process, ensuring compliance, traceability, and airworthiness restoration aligned with the requirements of the new lessee or owner.

Fokker Services offers a minor modification to support the use of Turbonycoil oils (600 or 640) from Nyco (France) for your aircraft's engine, APU, or IDG systems.

Whether it’s a minor seat row adjustment or a complete VIP interior configuration, Fokker Services provides flexible, certified LOPA engineering support to match your operational and regulatory needs.

Our services are ideal for aircraft transitions, reconfigurations, or completions, ranging from simple cabin layout changes to high-end executive interiors. We support airlines, lessors, MROs, and VIP operators with tailored layout solutions backed by EASA DOA approval.

Under specific circumstances, such as maintenance repositioning flights or check flights—special flight conditions must be defined to operate the aircraft safely and in compliance with regulations.

When a non-EASA aircraft manufacturer issues a No Technical Objection (NTO) or similar statement, EASA requires these be assessed and formalized by a DOA-approved organization before a Permit to Fly application can be submitted.
