Castaneda, Val (FAA) Wednesday , July 15, 2015 8:36AM ' ILLyana . bor ia@ gmail.com ' FAA INTERIM NOTICE Petition for Exemption

- imageOOl.png ; AC 120 - 87B.pdf The FAA apologizes for not being able to meet your needs and ,in the interest of time, I am sending this email to get to you information related to your petition. We received your Pet it ion for Exemptio n on July 10, 2015. You requested to use the CARES Child Restraint System (CRS) for a child who exceeds the weight and/or height limit and noted that you would like to travel July 28, 2015. Processing a petition for a child restraint (technical analysis, a decision regarding a grant or denial of the petition, and transmitting the grant or denial to you) typically takes 45-60 days. When the FAA gra nts this type of exemption, itis effective for five years. Since we noticed that you wish to take your first flight before we may finish processing your Petition for Exemptio n, we wanted to give you some inf o rm ation and options so you can make informed choices regardin g your travel. Also, we en co urage you to contact your air li ne of choice, wellin advance of your travel, so that you can become familiar with their related operational guidelines. Ifa chi ld exceeds the weight and/or height l imit for CARES, FAA regulations prohibit the use of CARES during taxi, takeoff and landing on U.S. aircraft. However, even ifa child exceeds 44 pounds or 40 inches, he or she can use CARES during cruise flight. U .S. Air Carriers are r equired to allow use of an approved CRS, ifa ticket has been pu r chased for the child, please contac t you r airline of choice for the ir related guidelines. Th e FAA does not recommend any particu lar CRS , but we have provided some webs i tes where you can find CRSs (app r oved for use in automobiles and aircraft) that can be use d with chil dren up to 150 pounds and five feet tall. In sofar as any changes th at might t ake place in the webs it es we've provided ,pl ease keep in mind that the FAA is neither associated with n or responsib le for maintaining them . We w ill move as expeditio usl y as possible; however, we cannot be certain if yo ur petition will be completed before your desired travel date. Again, we apo l ogize and thanks for your patience and understanding. FAA Approved CRSs that can accommodate al arger child --
