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.

Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) in Aviation Use
Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) are becoming increasingly common in daily life. Recognized national health authorities in several countries now recommend the use of AEDs in public and private environments, including aviation.
As a result, operators are being advised by these health institutes to install AED equipment on board aircraft.
To support this initiative, AMC1 CAT.IDE.A.220(b)(4) has been issued, providing additional guidance. This is further explained in EASA FAQ No. 19169, available at: https://www.easa.europa.eu/faq/19169
While AED units are widely certified for civil (non-aviation) use, demonstrating compliance with DOA 160 standards for aerospace applications can sometimes be challenging.
Fokker Services has successfully conducted EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) verification testing for the following aircraft types:
Fokker 50
Fokker 70/100
Embraer 170/190
De Havilland Dash-8
The testing was performed using the following commercially available AED models:
Philips HeartStart FRx (861304)

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 These could include obsolete systems, lessee-specific modifications, or customer-tailored configurations no longer applicable for the next operator.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.
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.
