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.
