Abstract:This advisory circular (AC) contains performance standards, specifications, and
recommendations for the design, construction, and testing of portable devices
used in the boarding of airline passengers with mobility impairments. Larger
aircraft at major airports are usually accessible to passengers with mobility
impairments via passenger loading bridges, but passengers have often been denied
boarding of smaller aircraft since suitable lifts or ramps were not available.
This AC pertaining to lifts was developed in coordination with the Canadian
General Standards Board document CAN/CGSB-189.1-95, Lifting Systems for Aircraft
Boarding of Passengers with Mobility Impairments. It is intended that, except
for certain purchaser-specified requirements (e.g. climatic protection) and
other minor modifications, lifts meeting the requirements of either the U.S. or
Canadian standards should meet the requirements of the other. This document
does not apply to passenger loading bridges. 11p.
