pregnant passenger
Hi All,
Got to take my friend and his wife flying this weekend and have just discovered that she is 5 months pregnant. Will she be okay to fly or should she get advice from a doctor.....any ideas

Personally
I just refused to fly with a pregnant passenger. I don't doubt that < 3000ft it probably won't be a problem, I just didn't want to put a pregnant woman through a forced landing. How awful would you feel if you had to perform that particular manoeuvre ?
I said as soon as she had the baby then we'd go flying

Will she be okay to fly
If she's anything like the women I know she'd probably be extremely offended if you declined to take her flying just because she's pregnant!
PS. PompeyPaul - do you always do forced landings, or just when you have pregnant women on board?

Interesting
There might arise a need to update the number of POB
Not sure why they are mostly in Scotland, maybe something to do with the remoteness, but that's they way it is according to Mr J M Pratt

My Mum went flying with my Dad when she was 8.5 months pregnant with me!
The Flight was fine, the train journey home from Ipswich to London is what caused the issues

I think my only concern would be same as Pompey Pauls. Depending how the seatbelt sits on the passenger it could cause major problems if put through a forced landing.
I would do same and err on side of caution.

Some women are so big these days, you could not tell if they were 9 months pregnant. A good exercise for the W&B though!
Is it still true that if giving birth aboard, the child acquires the citizenship of the aircraft registry?

great flight
Hi All,
Just to let you know that the flight went well and having a pregnant passenger really concentrates the mind......possibly the smoothest landing I've ever made.

If an aircraft is flying outside the territory of any State, then the birth is considered to have taken place in the State in which the aircraft was registered. If the aircraft is flying over the territory of a State, that may not be the same State in which the aircraft is registered, then the birth is considered to have taken place in both States, and both jurisdictions may lay claim to the child. Once again, the State in question must operate using Jus Soli, otherwise the child will not automatically gain citizenship.
Children born to citizens of third-party States - that is, countries that are neither the State of Registry of the aircraft, nor the State being overflown, are usually able to claim Jus Sanguinis - citizenship based on being descended from a citizen. In most places though, this is not automatic, as the birth certificate will show a foreign country (sometimes two) as the place of birth - but it is almost always a simple paperwork exercise.

My wife's doctor told her to keep O2 sats at 90 or above. That ruled out anything over about 7k feet msl without O2. We used portable O2 when we needed it. I already had a pulse oximeter.
