Cabin Safety Accommodation for Passengers with Disabilities

The Air Transportation Division (AFS-200) needs the ability to develop and/or update guidance for the evacuation of ambulatory passengers with disabilities. This includes passengers who are ambulatory and have other types of physical disabilities and who occupy aircraft seats and are capable of self-evacuation. This project is sponsored by AFS-200 but involves the participation and support from AIR-600.
