istration certificate issued in accord-
ance with § 47.61 of this chapter.
(c) No person may operate a large

subject to a lease or contract of condi-
tional sale to which paragraph (a) of
this section applies, unless—
(1) The lessee or conditional buyer, or
the registered owner if the lessee is not

(2) A copy of the lease or contract

contract shall be made available for re-
view upon request by the Adminis-
trator, and
(3) The lessee or conditional buyer, or
the registered owner if the lessee is not
a citizen of the United States, has noti-
fied by telephone or in person the re-
sponsible Flight Standards office. Un-
less otherwise authorized by that of-
fice, the notification shall be given at

parture;
(ii) The departure time; and
(iii) The registration number of the
aircraft involved.
(d) The copy of the lease or contract
furnished to the FAA under paragraph
(c) of this section is commercial or fi-

available by the FAA for public inspec-
tion or copying under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)
unless recorded with the FAA under
part 49 of this chapter.
(e) For the purpose of this section, a
lease means any agreement by a person
to furnish an aircraft to another person
for compensation or hire, whether with
or without flight crewmembers, other
than an agreement for the sale of an
aircraft and a contract of conditional
sale under section 101 of the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958. The person fur-
nishing the aircraft is referred to as
the lessor, and the person to whom it is
furnished the lessee.

§ 91.107
Use of safety belts, shoulder
harnesses, and child restraint sys-
tems.
(a) Unless otherwise authorized by
the Administrator—
(1) No pilot may take off a U.S.-reg-
istered civil aircraft (except a free bal-
loon that incorporates a basket or gon-
dola, or an airship type certificated be-
fore November 2, 1987) unless the pilot
in command of that aircraft ensures
that each person on board is briefed on
how to fasten and unfasten that per-
son’s safety belt and, if installed,
shoulder harness.
(2) No pilot may cause to be moved
on the surface, take off, or land a U.S.-
registered civil aircraft (except a free
balloon that incorporates a basket or
gondola, or an airship type certificated
before November 2, 1987) unless the
pilot in command of that aircraft en-
sures that each person on board has
been notified to fasten his or her safety
belt and, if installed, his or her shoul-
der harness.
(3) Except as provided in this para-
graph, each person on board a U.S.-reg-
istered civil aircraft (except a free bal-
loon that incorporates a basket or gon-
dola or an airship type certificated be-
fore November 2, 1987) must occupy an
approved seat or berth with a safety
belt and, if installed, shoulder harness,
properly secured about him or her dur-
ing movement on the surface, takeoff,
and landing. For seaplane and float
equipped rotorcraft operations during
movement on the surface, the person
pushing off the seaplane or rotorcraft
from the dock and the person mooring

are excepted from the preceding seat-
ing and safety belt requirements. Not-
withstanding the preceding require-
ments of this paragraph, a person may:

pying an approved seat or berth, pro-
vided that the person being held has
not reached his or her second birthday
and does not occupy or use any re-
straining device;
(ii) Use the floor of the aircraft as a
seat, provided that the person is on
board for the purpose of engaging in
sport parachuting; or
(iii) Notwithstanding any other re-
quirement of this chapter, occupy an
approved child restraint system fur-
nished by the operator or one of the
