Dear Sirs, Request for exemption revision 6/10/2016

FAA Project No.: Pending project number-FAA Chicago
Re.: 14 CFR 25.562 and 25

.785(b), Exemption revision to allow Aero Medical Products Mfg., Inc to install a medical/Divan-patient litter assemblies per report 006 into part 25,23,27,29 aircraft.
Aero Medical Products Mfg., Inc hereby petitions for an exemption revision to Exemption No.10862 from 25.562 and part of 25.785(b) ofTitle 14, Code of Federal Regulations ( 14 CFR) to the extent necessary to permit installation ofa medical/Divan-patient litter assemblies, for transport ofpersons whose medical condition dictates such accommodations as well as regular passengers sitting in a side facing position as is already authorized by the FAA STC Report 006 Dwg 901-2 (see attached authorized drawing list) "EXHIBIT A". Specific sections of 14 CFR from which reliefis sought Restriction on Exemption No. 10862 Docket no FAA-2013-0582 (Sept 5, 2013) needs to be removed as there is no basis for the restriction namely: 

### "Occupancy is limited to non-ambulatorypersons". What about these people? 1. A person couldjust not feel good and wants to lie down. 2. A person with a broken leg is ambulatory 3. A person with lupus 4. Other illness are ambulatory as well. 5. A healthy person want to take a nap (grandpa or grandma) long day. 6. A child with cancer 7. Etc
The present restriction on the exemption creates undue burden on those that are sick but ambulatory. It further creates restriction to American health care in a reasonable time frame. The Aero Medical Products Mfg Inc litter/divan aka the "Medstar" can hold a vertical force of (over 1000#) or say a pick up truck up while you change the oil. There is no reason to restrict it's use as a medical divan for all that wish to use it no matter the reason and not allow it to be used as a side facing seatjust like all the other exempt side facing seats.

Section 25.785(b) at amendment 25-88, requires that each seat, berth, safety belt, harness and adjacent part of the airplane at each station designated as occupyable during takeoff and landing must be designed so that a person making proper use ofthose facilities will not suffer serious injury in an emergency landing as a result of the inertia forces specified in 25.561 and 25.562. Section 25.562 specifies dynamic test conditions for qualification of occupant injury, as well as structural retention criteria. Extent ofrelief, and reason Aero Medical Products Mfg., Inc owns supplemental type certificates (STCs) for numerous 14 CFR part 25, 23 , 27 and 29 airplanes for litter /divan installation under report 006. The side facing three person seat wasauthorized in a Lear 35 in 1992 (see STC ST 13CH) "EXHIBITB". The certification requirements for those airplanes have resulted in good service history with no adverse experience. No medical-patient loading and utility system installations have been shown to meet the dynamic criteria in any aircraft. 14 CFR parts 23,27, and 29 specifically exclude stretcher litters from the dynamic criteria. Aero Medical Products Mfg., Inc notes that the estimated cost ofdemonstrating compliance is extremely high considering the limited number of units for which the cost could be amortized. Since none have been shown to comply with the dynamic test criteria, stretchers cannot currently be used on airplanes whose type certificate basis includes the dynamic requirements. In this case, a person who needs to travel for essential medical care can either charter an airplane, at 5 to 10 times the cost of a commercial ticket, or ifthe cost is prohibitive, fail to receive the needed treatment (the consequences of which may be fatal). Another alternative would be flying an alternate route on an airplanes, the certification basis for which does not require dynamic testing. This would offer no increase in safety and may not be available. 

### Why granting this request would be in the public interest; how it benefits the public as a whole Aero Medical Products Mfg., Inc feels that granting the petition would be in the public interest for the following reasons: 

## •

•

• The exemption would relieve an economic burden on a segment ofthe traveling public already dealing with adversity, The level of safety that would be provided is an acceptable level of safety given the limited usage and exposure ofthe stretcher/divan, Compliance with the dynamic test requirements would be difficult at best, and very expensive, while returning a marginal safety benefit. In addition, 14 CFR 25.562 is written for seats and would not be easily applied to a litter/divan. 

### Why granting the exemption would not adversely affect safety, orhow the exemption would provide a level ofsafety at least equal to that provided by the rule from which exemption is sought. 

## • Compliance with the dynamic test requirements would be difficult at best, and very expensive, while returning a marginal safety benefit. In addition, 14 CFR 25.562 is written for seats and would not be easily applied to a litter/divan 

### Request to forego summary-notice publication in the Federal Register for public comment Aero Medical Products Mfg., Inc also requests that the FAA waive publication and public comment for good cause. A delay in acting on the petition would be detrimental to Aero Medical Products Mfg., Inc as well as delaying the deployment oflifesaving equipment. 

### Additional information, views, or arguments supporting this request This petition is consistent with Exemption No. 6625, 6920, 7318 and 7393, which were granted for LifePort litter installations in Cessna 750 (Citation X), Falcon 2000, Cessna Citation 560XL and Learjet 45, respectively. 

### Operation outside the United States This exemption is intended for operation inside and outside the US as many people travel outside the US because we are a Global society seeking business with the world. The BBJ aircraft is a global type aircraft.
