Petition for Exemption
Docket No.: FAA-2016-8718
Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR Section 121.311
Description of Relief Sought: The petitioner requests an exemption
from FAR 121.311 (a) and (b) to the extent required for conjoined twins
to be able to be held in their caregiver's lap during all phases of
flight while aboard an aircraft, even though they have reached their
second birthday. This exemption would generally provide an equivalent
level of safety to that of a single lap held infant who has not reached
their second birthday, because the combined weight of these twins does
not exceed the 99th percentile for weight for an infant of only 23
months. Due to physical challenges, without an exemption, these
conjoined twins would be unable to fly onboard an aircraft.
