Porter passengers flying within Canada use Form A to request a free specific or additional seat, space permitting, under the Additional Passenger Seat policy of the Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Regulations. It covers a fused or immobilized leg, which gets an aisle seat on the side of the aircraft that gives the leg extra space, and disability caused by obesity, which gets an adjacent seat. A healthcare provider verifies the need.
The passenger, a guardian or a healthcare provider completes Section 1, and the passenger signs the consent. A physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner completes Section 2; for a renewal of an approved assessment, a physiotherapist may sign if no comorbidities were identified and fitness to fly is unchanged for two years.
