Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2009-0623.
    Petitioner: Cirrus Design Corporation.
    Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 23.562(b) and 23.785(a).
    Description of Relief Sought: Cirrus requests an exemption to the 
occupant weights specified in Sec. Sec.  23.562(b) and 23.785(a) for 
its Model SF50 aircraft, regarding optional small occupant passenger 
seats designed for passengers weighing no more than 90 pounds. These 
seats can be made safer if designed for a lower occupant weight. 
However, part 23 does not provide sufficient regulation for seats 
designed specifically for small occupants.
