CIVIL AVIATION ORDER 20.16.3 - 13 (2)
Carriage of Infants
When an infant is carried in the arms or on the lap of a passenger in accordance with subparagraph 13.2 (1) the seat belt, when required to be worn, shall be fastened around the passengers carrying or nursing the infant, but not around the infant.
CIVIL AVIATION REGULATIONS (1988) 251
Seat belts and safety harness
(1) Subject to this regulation, seat belts shall be worn by all crew members and passengers:
during take-off and landing;
during an instrument approach;
unless CASA otherwise directs when the aircraft is flying at a height of less than 1,000 feet above the terrain;
and
at all times in turbulent conditions.
CASA agrees that the CAO above may be construed as allowing an infant to travel unrestrained in an aircraft. However, CAR (1988) 251 states that all passengers must wear a seat belt at stipulated times throughout the flight.
CASA's Office of Legal Counsel has clarified that CAR (1988) 251 requires all passengers and crewmembers to be restrained, and the CAO merely stipulates that the restraint for a carried or nursed infant required by CAR (1988) 251 cannot be provided by the adult seatbelt. For the CAO to indicate otherwise would be contrary to CAR (1988) 251.
Given the clarification of the meaning of CAO 20.16.3, CASA requires all aircraft operators to ensure that infants are restrained effectively in accordance with CAR (1988) 251.
While CASA strongly advises the use of individual car type infants' seats in compliance with CAAP 235-2 (0) of March 1992, at the present time, use of the infant belly belt or other suitable alternatives is permitted for infant restraint.
The manner in which an operator achieves compliance with CAR (1988) 251 is for an operator to decide. |
