вЂњBut there are no blueprints for testing wheelchair tie-down systems and there is no standard to crash-test a wheelchair. вЂњWeвЂ™re working under the criteria of the FAA вЂ¦ to be sure weвЂ™re not wasting money,вЂќ she says. The problem is that the test results cannot be recognized for certification because thereвЂ™s no standard to support certification. Working with science and technology company Calspan, All Wheels Up has already conducted 16G dynamic testing on the fastener system, with passing results. Rather than wait to see what happens, All Wheels Up is working to fund an independent feasibility study that can be presented to Congress. вЂњThey had two years to conduct the study, and this October will be one year of nothing done,вЂќ she tells RGN.

While All Wheels Up offered the Access Board two proposals for FAA-approved contractors they could use for testing, the Board appears to have selected a separate contractor who, according to their bid, would not be able to complete the study within the timeline and scope of the FAA Reauthorization Act. The FAA has to file a report on its findings вЂњno later than one year after the initiation of the study.вЂќД®rwin is actively pushing for progress on this study through her work with the US Access Board, the federal agency that promotes equality for people with disabilities, and tells us that progress is slow and results are mixed. The scope of the mandate is that the FAA must determine whether restraint systems are feasible, and, if feasible, the ways in which they could be introduced on aircraft to accommodate wheelchair users, including those who use power wheelchairs.

All Wheels Up has been working to certify wheelchair fasteners on aircraft so that disabled passengers who use electric and properly-fitted manual wheelchairs can use their own equipment in-flight, rather than have to be transferred to a standard aircraft seat and risk that their checked equipment might be damaged en-route. Michele Erwin, founder and president of All Wheels Up, has made it her business to engage the industry directly вЂ“ from airlines to regulators and legislators вЂ“ to advance accessibility policy. We spoke to two panel participants who shared their insights on what it will take for airlines to overcome these technical challenges. But the delays are also technical, caused by real design limitations, perceived design limitations and the industryвЂ™s stringent regulatory hurdles. Some of the delays can be attributed to a lack of understanding of the issues, lack of awareness, and to financial considerations. While there seems to be a consensus in industry that something must be done, airlines have failed to move forward on solutions.
