I now have it in writing from the RA-Aus but I need to seek the author's permission to publish to third party and in particular to the forum. I will happily do that when permission is granted
No one here is going to give a stuff, unless that written advice includes a reference to some form of legislation - that you don't understand that is ... amusing.
Damm, now your admitting to dropping something from an aircraft ??? Section 29.5 of the Civil Aviation Orders
Off we go again
Wow. Way to show lack of empathy dude. How do you rate on the

I would have expected that 20.16.3.12.2 and 20.16.3.13.2(2) should be relevant to the infant ?

Column 1

Column 2

I don't see any problem there, either??
