  Wheelchair tie-downs in airplanes… again

  Posted by Josh Grisdale on March 13, 2021 at 11:30 am

  So, I came across this article:

  https://www.aviationpros.com/engines-components/aircraft-airframe-accessories/interiors/press-release/21130472/molon-labe-seating-new-airline-seat-design-will-allow-disabled-passengers-to-fly-in-their-own-wheelchairs

  And I feel I have seen a dozen others like this in the past. As a wheelchair user with customized seating, this would be sooo helpful for long flights and sore backs…

  … but I would definitely be concerned about using QStraint wheelchair docking system. There are so many types of wheelchair bases and even on mine, I don’t have proper hooks for belts on the front so belts often get attached to my footrests – which are not very strong!

  So, in addition to airline regulations, major changes and regulations would need to be added to wheelchairs before I would even remotely interested in trying…

  What about you?
