Experience in the conversion of light transport aircraft into the sanitary version

The urgency of the problem of rational use for the purpose of medical evacuation of various aircraft, taking into account their equipment and radius of the aircraft, is shown. An experiment was conducted to convert the L-410 UHV-E3 aircraft into the sanitary version. The possibility of using unified sanitary equipment of domestic production and the manufacture of its additional elements has been studied. The order of loading and unloading of the wounded, sick and affected, the ways of organizing and performing the task of their evacuation by the flight crew in various conditions of the situation. The time and quality indicators of aircraft conversion into a sanitary version, loading and unloading of the injured were established. In the studied version of the conversion, the aircraft allows 12 victims to be transported (6 on stretchers and 6 on the seats) with an accompanying medical professional at a distance of up to 1000 km with a cruising speed of 300 km/h. The place and role of light transport aircraft in the performance of sanitary evacuation tasks are determined.
