An aeromedical ambulance module configured to be mounted removably to two spaced-apart rails of an aircraft seat track, the aeromedical ambulance module comprising a mount assembly having an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration, the mount assembly comprising a first lock foot and a first base foot, the first lock foot being an adjustable foot that is moveable relative to the first base foot between an engagement position and a release position, such that when the mount assembly is in the unlocked configuration the first lock foot is in the release position and when the mount assembly is in the locked configuration the first lock foot is in the engagement position, and
- wherein the aeromedical ambulance module comprises a module base having a length and a width, the length being greater than the width, the first lock foot and the first base foot being spaced apart from each other along the width of the module base, such that the first lock foot is configured to move along a lateral axis relative to the first base foot between the engagement position and the release position, the lateral axis being cross-wise to the length of the module base.
An aeromedical ambulance module configured to be mounted removably to two spaced-apart rails of an aircraft seat track, the aeromedical ambulance module comprising a mount assembly having an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration, the mount assembly comprising a first lock foot and a first base foot, the first lock foot being an adjustable foot that is moveable relative to the first base foot between an engagement position and a release position, such that when the mount assembly is in the unlocked configuration the first lock foot is in the release position and when the mount assembly is in the locked configuration the first lock foot is in the engagement position, and
- wherein the aeromedical ambulance module comprises a module base having a front side, a bottom side, and a back side, the first lock foot being located on the bottom side of the module base at a position closer to the front side than to the back side, whereas the first base foot is located on the bottom side of the module base at a position closer to the back side than to the front side.
