Description / Abstract:
The methods and designs presented herein shall not be contrued
as being the only means of accomplishing these accommodations.

features required by Department of Transportation Regulations
CFR382.
Passengers with ambulatory disabilities and for whom provisions
shall be made on each airplane type and location(s) for their

fellow passengers. This necessitates consideration of physical,
neurological and sensory capabilities, and limitations of mobility
impaired persons. With proper consideration and design
implementation, it will be possible to serve the needs of the
majority of the disabled population.

This document provides considerations for the design of cabin
facilities to accommodate passengers with ambulatory disabilities
