This paper describes the testing and installation of certain retrofit crash protection measures in Cessna models 185 and 206 aircraft. These are the types of aircraft that are operated in a “bush” type environment by Jungle Aviation And Radio Service (JAARS) and Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF).The crash protection features described are in the areas of (a) maintaining a livable space; (b) reducing the “scooping” effect; (c) seat and occupant retention, including energy attenuation, and (d) fuel spillage control. Multiple FAA Supplemental Type Certificates were obtained for each of the installations in each type aircraft.
