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:
