carry the responsibility to ensure that these objects are securely packed to
withstand normal handling. Customer Service Agents will inform the passenger of
that responsibility.
2. The Flight Attendant will assist the passenger in properly stowing the object. If the
object cannot be stowed in an overhead bin or underneath the seat, the Flight
Attendant may stow the object in the forward closet (EMB 145 only) as long as it
does not exceed the weight limitations.
3. If a passenger cannot check or stow an item in a manner that ensures the safety of
the aircraft and its occupants, or if the passenger believes that the item cannot be
packed to withstand normal handling, then the passenger will ship the item by some
other means.
REV. 12, 15 SEP 2007

E. Stowage of Assistive Devices for Customers With Disabilities

14 CFR 121.589(g)
1. Assistive devices are items that assist the passenger with any life activity such as
mobility. Qualified disabled individuals are permitted to bring and stow these items
in close proximity to their seat consistent with carry-on baggage restrictions.
Examples are walkers, wheelchairs, flexible travel canes, and crutches. Assistive
devices are accepted for transportation for customers with disabilities without
charge.
2. Assistive devices shall not be counted against the limit of one carry-on article and
personal item.
3. Sample assistive devices:
a. Crutches and Walking Canes:
Crutches and walking canes may be stowed in the overhead bin, forward closet,
or under a series of passenger seats in the same row of the airplane as long as
they do not protrude into the aisle.
Assistive devices placed under the seats, must be able to be restrained by the
underseat restraining bar. It this is not possible, they must be secured in another
location. (i.e. overhead bins)
b. Flexible Travel Canes used by blind passengers:
They may be stowed between a passenger seat and the fuselage as long as the
cane is flat on the floor and is not in an emergency exit row.
Flexible travel canes may also be stowed beneath any window passenger seat
(except emergency exit window) and the seat directly in front of the customer as
long as the cane is flat on the floor.
A travel cane may be stowed underneath a seat or series of connected seats
provided they do not protrude into the aisle and cannot slide forward past the
restraint bar.
c. Wheelchairs:
Non-battery powered wheelchairs that are not checked to the passenger's
destination should be tagged as carry-on baggage and loaded in the baggage
compartment, to ensure that it will be unloaded first. If the passenger requests,
the wheelchair may be returned to the passenger at the baggage claim area. For
weight and balance purposes, a wheelchair will be counted as one checked bag.
4. Special care must be taken in stowing thin profile assistive devices like flexible
travel canes because these items may slide under the restraint bar. The Flight
Attendant must ensure that thin profiled items will not move sideways or forward
under the restraint bar. If necessary such an item must be placed in the overhead
bin or forward closet (EMB 145 only).
5. If the assistive device cannot be accommodated in the overhead bins or under the
passengers seat, the Flight Attendant may have to secure the assistive device(s)
in the forward closet provided the placarded weight limitation is not exceeded.

compartment and which the passenger considers too valuable or fragile to check as
baggage or ship as air freight.
2. When determined acceptable by Chautauqua Airlines an item of baggage may
occupy a seat, provided
a. the passenger accompanies the property,
b. the item meets special dimensions,
c. can be properly secured by a seatbelt and
d. reservations are made and a ticket is purchased for the seat.
3. Seat baggage may be accepted under the following conditions:
a. The item(s) fit in or against the seat as illustrated in this appendix.
b. More than one item may be accepted as long as the following guidelines are met
and do not require more than one seat.
c. The Passenger agrees to accompany and carry the items.
4. Baggage may be carried in a passenger seat in accordance with the following

Compartment 14 CFR 121.285
b. It is packaged or covered in a manner to avoid possible injury to passengers.

c. It does not impose any load on seats or the floor structure that exceeds the load
limitation for those components. If, in the opinion of the Flight Attendant, the

allowable floor limits of approximately 170 lbs, the item must be identified to the
PIC and handled as freight which would be carried in the cargo compartment.
d. Its location does not obscure any passenger's view of any required sign or placards.
e. The seat baggage may not restrict access to any normal and/or emergency exits
or the aisle in the passenger compartment.
2. The Flight Attendant must
