The following extract is from the Department for Education’s letter informing parents of “Advice on the admission of summer-born children,” December 2016.
1.
A child reaches compulsory school age on the prescribed day following his or her fifth birthday (or on his or her fifth birthday if it falls on a prescribed day). The prescribed days are 31 December, 31 March, and 31 August. The term "summer-born" is used to refer to children born from 1 April to 31 August. These children are not required to start school until a full school year after the point at which they could have first been admitted.
2.
2A. School admission authorities are required to provide for the admission of all children in the September following their fifth birthday, but flexibilities exist for summer-born children whose parents do not feel they are emotionally ready to begin school in the school year starting immediately after their fifth birthday. They should note that while evidence shows that, statistically speaking, summer-born children tend to perform less well on school tests, teachers are skilled at differentiating the curriculum to meet a diverse range of needs.
2B. Where a parent requests admission for a child out of his or her normal age group, the school admission authority is responsible for making the decision to which year group the child should be admitted. The authority is required to make a decision on the basis of the circumstances of the case and in the best interests of the child concerned.
2C. There is no statutory barrier to children being admitted outside their normal age group, but parents do not have the right to insist that their child be admitted to a particular age group.
2D. In cases in which a school’s capacity does not allow for the admission of children in a certain age group, priority in admission will be given to the oldest children. Summer-born children, in these cases, may be required to postpone their entry into the school system for one year.
Why would parents want a "summer-born" child to start his studies a year after his designated school year, out of his normal age group?
You are a helicopter class-rated pilot. You have 195 hours of flight experience, 30 hours of which are on a Robinson R-44 and 10 on a Robinson R-22. A flight instructor claims you may only receive a temporary endorsement for commanding a Robinson R-44. What must you do to receive a permanent license?
SFAR Regulations
(b) Aeronautical Experience:
(1) No person may act as pilot in command of a Robinson model R-22 for a period that is not limited to six months unless that person—
(i) Has had at least 200 flight hours in helicopters, at least 50 flight hours of which were in the Robinson R-22; or
(ii) Has had at least 10 hours of dual instruction in the Robinson R-22 and has received an endorsement from a certified flight instructor authorized under paragraph (b)(5) of this section that the individual has been given the training required by this paragraph and is proficient to act as pilot in command of an R-22. This type of license will also be limited to 12 calendar months after the date of the endorsement. After said period, the individual may not act as pilot in command unless the individual receives a new endorsement.
(2) No person may act as pilot in command of a Robinson R-44 for a period that is not limited to six months unless that person—
(i) Has had at least 200 flight hours in helicopters, at least 50 flight hours of which were in the Robinson R-44. The pilot in command may credit up to 25 flight hours in the Robinson R-22 toward the 50-hour requirement in the Robinson R-44; or
(ii) Has had at least 10 hours of dual instruction in a Robinson helicopter, at least five hours of which must have been accomplished in the Robinson R-44, endorsed and authorized under the same requirements detailed under paragraph (1)(ii) of this section.
(3) A person who does not hold a rotorcraft category and helicopter class rating must have had at least 20 hours of dual instruction in a Robinson R-22 helicopter prior to the commencement of any instruction that would count toward the required aeronautical experience required for the commanding of either a Robinson R-22 or Robinson R-44, as detailed under paragraphs (1-2) of this section.
(5) No certificated flight instructor may provide instruction or conduct a flight review in a Robinson R-22 or R-44 unless that instructor:
(i) Completes the awareness training in paragraph 2(a) of this SFAR.
(ii) For the Robinson R-22, has had at least 200 flight hours in helicopters, at least 50 flight hours of which were in the Robinson R-22, or for the Robinson R-44, has had at least 200 flight hours in helicopters, 50 flight hours of which were in Robinson helicopters. Up to 25 flight hours of Robinson R-22 flight time may be credited toward the 50-hour requirement.

403.2.3 Structural integrity of exit enclosures and elevator hoistway enclosures. For high-rise buildings of occupancy category III or IV in accordance with the previous section, and for all buildings that are more than 420 feet (128 m) in building height, exit enclosures and elevator hoistway enclosures shall comply with Sections 403.2.3.1 through 403.2.3.4.
403.2.3.1 Wall assembly. The wall assemblies making up the exit enclosures and elevator hoistway enclosures shall meet or exceed Soft Body Impact Classification 2009 Level 2 as measured by the test method described in ASTM C 1629/C.
403.2.3.2 Wall assembly materials. The wall assemblies making up the exit enclosures and elevator hoistway enclosures, for all floors of the building starting from the first floor and including all floors constructed underground, shall be constructed in accordance with one of the following methods:
The wall assembly shall incorporate no less than two layers of impact-resistant construction board each of which meets or exceeds Hard Body Impact Classification Level 2 as measured by the test method described in ASTM C 1629/C.The wall assembly shall incorporate no less than one layer of impact-resistant cement that meets or exceeds Hard Body Impact Classification Level 3 as measured by the test method described in ASTM C 1629/C.The wall assembly incorporates multiple layers of any material, tested in tandem, that meet or exceed Structural Impact Classification Level H as measured by the test method described in ASTM C 1629/C.The exterior of a wall assembly making up the exit enclosure and elevator hoistway enclosure, regardless of the material used, must meet or exceed Soft Body Impact Classification 2009 Level 3 as measured by the test method described in ASTM C 1629/C. If the exterior is made of glass, metal, or wood, the exterior must meet or exceed Soft Body Impact Classification 2009 Level 5.
