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

how to fasten and unfasten that per-
son’s safety belt and, if installed,
shoulder harness.

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.
