Joseph-Sherman Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I was talking to a rep from Aerospatiale helicopter back in the 80's, he had told me that if need to the co-pilot seat can come out and be stored in the baggage compartment in the unlikely event that it would be needed to put a stretcher in. I understand the new ones you can't do that. Can the co-pilot seat be placed sideways behind the pilots seat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azhigher Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 You're asking for trouble having an unsecured seat AND a patient in an Astar. If you really need the seat out, just leave it on scene. It'll still be there when you get back, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bird Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 The newer crash seats are quite different from the older style. Much taller. You could secure the co-pilot seat behind the pilot (on the bench) and have one medic but it would be very tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistlerpilot Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 If you get the squirrel cheek cargo pod then the front seat might fit in the left side pod, though contact Airbus to verify. I would caution you against doing impromptu medevac flights for the public for all the reasons previously stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
