AIRCRAFT BOARDING OF WHEEL CHAIR PASSENGERS, PHASE 3: PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION

This is the third phase of a project on the boarding of disabled passengers onto large aircraft without a system to allow level entry into the aircraft, such as a loading bridge or a passenger transfer vehicle. This report describes the design, fabrication, and evaluation of the enclosed pallet device known as the passenger transfer module (PTM). The PTM was evaluated at Fredericton, Charlottetown, and Moncton airports. Personnel and equipment prevented its planned evaluation at Prince George, British Colombia, and Thunder Bay, Ontario.
