Je rsey City, NJ 07305 Dear Ms. Parker: Exemption No. 12072 8 0 0 Independence Ave .. S W Wash i nglon . DC 2059 1 Regulatory Docket No. F AA-20 15-1999 This le tter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis , and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends. The Basis for Our Decision

By letter posted to th e docket on May 29, 2015 , you petitioned th e Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of your son Jackson Parker for an exemption from § 121.311 (b) of Title 14 , Code of Federal Regulations ( 14 CFR). That exemption , if granted, would allow Jackson to exceed the specified weight and/or height limit for an FAA-approved

child restraint system (CAReS , manufactured by AmSafe Corporation) during use of that child restraint system (CRS) aboard a United States (U.S.)-registered aircraft. The FAA has determined that good cause ex ist s for not publishing a summary of the petition

in th e Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent , and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Jackson.

The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grant of Exemption No. 9834 (copy enclosed), the FAA found that numerous people with physical challenges had previously completed flights using restraint systems. The use of these restraint systems addressed unique physical needs regarding safety, support, and security in the same manner of operations as described in this petition. The FAA further found that the petition would not set any new precedents regarding the use of restraint systems by persons with disabilities. AFS -15-2092- E2 H aving reviewed you r reasons for requesting an exemption ,I find that-
