Exemption No. 10183A Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2006-26027

Mr. Jim Colburn Director of Operations

Frontier Airlines 8909 Purdue Road, Suite 300 Indianapolis, IN 46268

Dear Mr. Colburn:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 10183. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the

conditions and limitations.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated November 21, 2013, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Frontier Airlines, Inc., (Frontier) for an extension of Exemption No. 10183. That exemption from §§ 91.203 (a) and (b) and 47.49 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows Fron tier to operate its U.S.-registered aircraft in domestic airline operations without the aircraft registration or the airworthiness certificate on

board the aircraft.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested extension of the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Frontier.

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 10183, as amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest.2

Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. §§ 106 (f), 40113, and 44701 which the FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I grant Frontier Airlines, Inc., relief from §§ 91.203 (a) and (b) and 47.49 to continue to temporarily operate its U.S.-registered aircraft in domestic airline operations without the aircraft registration or the airworthiness certificate on board the aircraft subject to the following conditions and limitations.

Conditions and Limitations

1. Frontier, before utilizing the exemption, must apply for and receive from the district office responsible for its air carrier certificate an amendment to its operations specifications authorizing it to exercise the privileges of this exemption.

2. Frontier, before utilizing the provisions of this exemption, must develop a comprehensive program that provides for continued operation of the aircraft through use of an appropriate entry in the aircraft logbook when the certificate of registration or airworthiness for such aircraft is lost, stolen, or mutilated; ensure that timely application is made to the FAA for a replacement certificate; and provide for the temporary operation of the aircraft during the interim required to receive a replacement certificate from the FAA and install it on the affected aircraft. This program must be FAA approved and instructions for its use shall be included in the air carrier’s manual required by 14 CFR §121.133.

3. The comprehensive program specified in paragraph 2 must contain:

a. A requirement that the following statement be entered into the appropriate section of the aircraft logbook whenever this exemption is to be utilized:

“This aircraft is being operated without a certificate of registration (or airworthiness, as applicable) under the provisions of Exemption No. _____ for a period of 3 days, not including weekends or Federal holidays, following the start of the next business day beginning:

Time__________ Date_______ 20___.”

The signature, title, and station location of the person(s) authorized by Paragraph 3(b) shall be affixed to this statement.

b. An identification of the designated person or persons within Frontier’s maintenance organization authorized to enter the statement outlined in paragraph 3(a) and the method or methods wherein the documents required under paragraph 5 will be transmitted to the affected aircraft.

c. An arrangement whereby those persons within the Frontier organization responsible for certificates of registration and airworthiness will maintain a

current record of the data from the certif icates of each aircraft within its fleet3

which may be effected by the exemption. The data must be made readily available to the elements within Frontier’s maintenance organization identified in paragraph 3(b) and must be kept current at all times.

d. Procedures to ensure that the FAA principal maintenance inspector with responsibility for Frontier is immediately notified of a missing or mutilated certificate and that timely application is made to the FAA for a replacement certificate (in the case of an airworthin ess certificate) or a duplicate certificate (in the case of registration certificate).

e. Procedures which will describe specific duties and responsibilities by job title.

4. The privileges of this exemption may only be exercised by Frontier for temporary replacement of a missing and mutilated certificate which is current and in effect and only applies to U.S.-registered aircraft listed in Frontier’s FAA-approved operations specifications. Where Frontier is not the registered owner authorizing the use of the program allowed by this exemption, Frontier must file a copy of the written consent document with the FAA certificate-holding dist rict office and must maintain a copy of

the consent document in its own files.

5. A copy of this exemption and a copy of the operations specifications authorizing its use must be carried on board the aircraft when exercising the privileges of this exemption.

6. The privileges of this exemption may only be exercised when the affected aircraft is operating totally within the contiguous 48 states of the United States and the District

of Columbia.

The Effect of Our Decision

Our decision extends the termination date of Exemption No. 10183 to January 31, 2016, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely,
