GREENSBORO, NC - Dec. 19, 2007... TIMCO Aerosystems announced today that it has been issued an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for its Boeing 767 lower lobe crew rest unit. The first of its kind for the 767, this mobile crew rest unit was developed and manufactured for use aboard multiple aircraft in the Austrian Airlines fleet.
Engineered to match the outer dimensions of an LD8 unit load device (ULD) used in Boeing 767 aircraft, this removable crew rest unit is easily loaded, secured, and activated in the forward lower lobe cargo compartment of the 767 in less than 20 minutes. The unit features six bunks and is accessed by flight crew through a vestibule discretely located in the main passenger cabin. The crew rest is also fitted with the latest safety provisions and a host of occupant amenities.
TIMCO Aerosystems President Rick Salanitri noted that, "The quick disconnect features of this crew rest solution provide operational flexibility. The unit can be installed on only those route segments that require in-flight rest for the crew, offering the operator the ability to maximize revenue yield while providing its flight crews the best accommodation possible."
A subsidiary of TIMCO Aviation Services, TIMCO Aerosystems is one of a select few companies that can support its customers with everything involved in the interior modification process, from state-of-the-art design and engineering to systems and structures manufacture, integration and certification.
