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.
