Inspection Requirements and Overhaul Schedule
The stretcher and restraint systems must be inspected at normal intervals of 100 hours or annually, following the applicable Hawker Beechcraft Maintenance Manual for seats. Detailed visual inspections are required for the stretcher mattress and covering, with specific criteria for acceptable damage. The inspection also includes checks for cracks and deformation in the stretcher assembly and tubing, with strict guidelines for replacement of damaged parts.
Dimensions and Access
The installation of the stretcher assembly does not alter the aircraft's dimensions or access to existing systems. The stretcher weighs 24 lbs, and the optional mattress adds an additional 10 lbs, totaling 49 lbs when fully equipped. The stretcher length is 72 inches.
Airworthiness Limitations
The Airworthiness Limitations section is FAA approved and specifies the maintenance required under Sec. 43.16 and 91.403 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. There are no additional airworthiness limitations imposed by the installation of the stretcher assembly.
Troubleshooting
For troubleshooting beyond the installation drawings, refer to the existing Aircraft Maintenance Manual. It is recommended that troubleshooting be performed by FAA-approved repair stations or qualified individuals with the necessary equipment and service data.
Safety notes
- Inspect the stretcher mattress for cracks and punctures within a 4-inch diameter circle; no more than three defects are allowed.
- Damaged parts must be replaced immediately to ensure passenger safety.

To comply with14 CFR 23.1529, continue the new stretcher and restraint system on the same inspection and maintenance schedule used per the applicable Hawker Beechcraft Maintenance Manual for seats. a. The new stretcher and restraint systems require no service other than inspection at normal inspection interval of 100 hours or annually. b. Perform a detailed visual inspection of the stretcher mattress bottom and top covering to detect apparent or obvious defects or irregularities. On the mattress assembly, check for cracks and punctures within a 4” diameter circle. The mattress assembly can have no more than three defects found within the 4” diameter circle. If it develops a “lump”, check to see if there are no more than two lumps within a 4” diameter circle. Any damage to the mattress assembly outside of the described limits will require it to be replaced. Visually inspect the covering assembly for holes, punctures, and tears. If the damage to the covering is holes smaller than ½” in diameter or a cut at a maximum of 2” in length then the covering is satisfactory. The sewing of the cover assembly cannot have a tear or cut exceeding 1” in length . Any damage to the covering assembly outside of the described limits will require it to be replaced. Aviation Fabricators Inc. ICA Document No.: AF-492 805 North Fourth Street Revision (C) Clinton, MO. 64735 Date: July 29, 2015 Page 9 of 14 c. Visually inspect the stretcher assembly tubing and diaphragm for cracks and deformation. Damaged conditions can be detected as a crack at the edge of the tube or along the length of the tubes or as a crack, tear or cut found on the seat bottom diaphragm. Visually inspect all hardware for excessive wear before and after installation. Replace the stretcher top diaphragm if two cracks or deformations are found within a 4” diameter circle. If a tear or cut is found with a maximum 6” length, replace the diaphragm. There shall be no broken tubes. There shall be no sharp corners, edges, or protrusions that may injure passengers. Replace the tubes if they are bent in such a way that they are more than 2” off center. Replace the stretcher tubes if crack length is found to be .125” or greater. Replace the tube if a dent is found running longer than 3”. Replace the stretcher tubes if deformation is greater than .25” the overall thickness of the tube diameter. Cracked or broken fasteners or fittings are to be replaced with new immediately. For repair or replacement of damaged or broken parts or assemblies contact Aviation Fabricators Inc.

ICA Document No.: AF-492 805 North Fourth Street Revision (C) Clinton, MO. 64735 Date: July 29, 2015 Page 13 of 14 9.0 SERVICE INFORMATION Typical Stretcher Service Instructions: A. Upholstery Cleaning: Stretcher Service Instructions 1. Remove the mattress and cover assemblies from the stretcher. 2. Clean covering with Armour All leather cleaner or equivalent. 3. Clean drawer finish using Armour All multi-purpose cleaner or equivalent. 4. Clean and inspect restraint system for damage or excessive wear. 5. Inspect all attachment fittings and replace if necessary. 6. Inspect overall stretcher for fit and function. Typical Stretcher Service Instructions: Stretcher Assembly The stretchers are self contained complete assemblies that mount to the existing aircraft cabin seat track using standard fittings in accordance with approved floor plans. To remove the stretcher assembly from the aircraft seat track lift each of the hold down fitting keepers and slide the stretcher forward or aft on the seat track so that the hold down stud will be allowed to be lifted from the track. To install the stretcher on to the existing seat track, place stretcher in proper location and lift hold down fitting keepers so that the studs will drop into the seat track. Move the stretcher forward or aft to allow the keeper to lock into place on the seat track. Refer to Figure 1.0A. Mattress and Seat Cover The mattress assembly is removed by simply pulling it upward from the Velcro on the stretcher cover. The stretcher cover is removed by pulling it away from the Velcro on underside of the stretcher top frame. Seat Belt and Shoulder Harness Seat belt and Shoulder Harness removal is accomplished by loosening attaching hardware and removing from the stretcher frame assembly. Refer to Figure 1.0B. B. RECOMMENDED OVERHAUL PERIODS No additional overhaul time limitations and requirements apply to the Aviation Fabricators Stretcher Assemblies. Aviation Fabricators Inc.
