CAN IT AVOID TURBULENCE?
In addition, the FAA Reauthorization Act includes some victories for moving toward in-flight travel in an assistive mobility device:
- Congress will fund an in-depth budget
impact model exploring how a wheelchair spot in the cabin impacts
airlines, equipment manufacturers, tourism dollars, and damage cost
avoidance.
- Testing will focus on tie-down devices
that provide safe travel for wheelchair passengers.
- The FAA will conduct studies on creating
evacuation plans for travelers in their own wheelchairs on board. Safety
studies and evacuation plans are a core element before the airline
industry can move forward.
