Are the three bulkhead (Med Crew) Seats certified as being crashworthy?

If so...does stowing equipment and other items beneath them conform with the requirements for those crashworthy seats?

We once ran into such a problem at my Operator when our designers built in a small compartment under such a certified seat and we had to remove it.

Advanced Care capability requires a lot of gear....and stowage has always been a difficult thing to accommodate without compromising something else.

Access to the patient in small aircraft is one such issue....as in some aircraft there just isn't room to grant enough access should the patient begin to crater enroute.

Air Methods has long had an excellent engineering and design capability.
