Abstract
A ramp system and method are configured for use between a jetway and an internal cabin of an aircraft. The ramp system and method include a first panel, a second panel, and a pivot axle that pivotally couples the first panel to the second panel. The first panel and the second panel are configured to rotate relative to one another about the pivot axle between a closed position, in which the ramp system is stowable within the internal cabin, and an open position, in which the ramp system is deployable over and between a first portion of the jetway and a second portion of a floor of the internal cabin. The ramp system is configured to be secured to escape slide arming brackets.
