Can a passenger with an approved POC sit in seat 1D on the CRJ 200?

In the context of the CRJ 200, a passenger with an approved Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) must adhere to specific guidelines regarding where they can sit on the aircraft. Generally, regulations require that passengers using POCs are not allowed to occupy exit row seats, which includes seat 1D, as these seats are designated for individuals who are able to assist with emergency evacuations.

Seat 1D in the CRJ 200 is located in the first row, adjacent to the exit doors, which means it falls under the restrictions for individuals using medical devices like POCs. This ensures that in the event of an emergency, those seated in exit rows are unencumbered and able to assist in evacuations. Therefore, a passenger with an approved POC cannot sit in seat 1D for safety reasons.

The restrictions are put in place to prioritize the safety of all passengers on board, ensuring that those in positions that may require rapid evacuation are in a suitable condition to do so without any hindrance.
