§ 382.21 Aircraft accessibility.

(a) The following requirements apply to
new aircraft operated under 14 CFR part 121
and ordered by the carrier after April 5, 1990

seats on which passenger aisle seats have

seats shall have a priority space in the cabin
designated for stowage of at least one folding
wheelchair;

(3) Aircraft with more than one aisle in
which lavatories are provided shall include at
least one accessible lavatory. This lavatory
shall permit a qualified individual with a
disability to enter, maneuver within as
necessary to use all lavatory facilities, and
leave, by means of the aircraft’s on-board
wheelchair. The accessible lavatory shall
afford privacy to persons using the on-board
wheelchair equivalent to that afforded

faucets and other controls, and dispensers
usable by qualified individuals with a
disability, including wheelchair users and
persons with manual impairments;

(4)(i) Aircraft with more than 60 passenger

equipped with an operable on-board
wheelchair for the use of passengers.

(ii) The carrier shall ensure that an operable
on-board wheelchair is provided for a flight
using an aircraft with more than 60 passenger
seats on the request (with advance notice as
provided in § 382.33(b)(8)) of a qualified
individual with a disability who represents to
the carrier that he or she is able to use an
inaccessible lavatory but is unable to reach the
lavatory from a seat without the use of an onboard
wheelchair.
