### 28 March 2016 U.S. Department ofTransportation Docket Operations, M-30 West Building ground floor, Room W 12-140 1200 NewJersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 Subject: Amendmentto Exemption No. 98990 from 14 CFR 91.9(a), 14 CFR 91.531(a)(1) and (2). Reference: Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2009-0520

This letter submits the petition of Flight Safety International, LLC {FiightSafety) for the amendment and extension of Exemption No. 98990, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2009-0520, that is presently due to expire on 31 July 2017. Exemption No. 9899D provides qualifying pilots ofCessna Citation Model CE-500, 550, 552, and 560 airplanes relieffrom 14 CFR 91.9(a), 14 CFR 91.531(a)(1) and (2) that enables them to operate without a pilot who is designated as second in command. FlightSafety would like the FAA to consider an amendment to the 9899D Exemption as granted by FAA letter dated January 10, 2015. (A copy is attached) In addition FlightSafety is requestingthe FAA to; 1. Remove thefollowing condition and limitation 20, (The privileges ofthe exemption are prohibited for any aircraftwith the landinggear lever positioned anywhere tothe right ofthe center ofthe aircraft.) The feasibility ofoperating a CESOO with a gear handle on the right side was evaluated byCessna Flight Test and the FAA in 1991 and found to be acceptable for single pilot operations, see document listed below. 2. Amend condition and limitation 23 to read as follows. This exemption is notvalid for operations outside the UnitedStates, unless the operatorgains approvalfrom theforeign authority involved, this limitation does notprohibitoperations injoint US/Canadian/Mexican airspace. The current condition and-limitation 23 appearstoforbid direct routing between certain US destinations as these flights include travel through Canadian airspace. NOTE: we have US operatorsthat have received written confirmation from the Canadian MOTallowingthe use ofthe 9899 exemption on "N" registered aircraft flown in Canada by FAA licensed US pilots,the recommended amendment eliminates any confusion associated with this limitation. In closing, FlightSafety thanks FAA for their consideration ofthe exemption in this subjectDocket and we are hopeful ofthe FAA's approval ofthe amendme tto the 9899 exemption in this letter.

. •/ '.' •'··· Dear Mr. Tessmann: This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 9899, as amended. Itexplains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the conditions and limitations. 

### TheBasis for OurDecision By letter dated January 12,2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalfofFiightSafety International, LLC (FSI) for an extension to ExemptionNo. 9899, as amended. That exemption from§§ 91.9(a) and 91.531(a)(l) and (2) ofTitle 14, Code of Federal Regulations allows FSI to train, test, and approve pilots (under its 14 CFR 142 training center certificate, UJFX071K) to operate certain Cessna CE-500 series aircraft without a pilot who is designated as second-in-command (SIC). In yourpetition, you indicate similar conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for grantingthe origfnal exemption. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for notpublishing a summary ofthe petition

.In the Federal Registerbecause the requested extensionofthe exemption would not set a**piieceaerii;~arid**imy'delay in acti'ng on this petition would be detrimental to FSI.

AFS-15-452-EThe FAA has amended the conditions and limitations ofExemptionNo. 9899D in orderto clarify our original intent and standardize the reliefwith similarly granted exemptions. While tire relieftloe's not'change substantially, all users ofthe exemption should thoroughly review the revised conditions and limitations. Theprevious Condition/Limitation No. 8 has been amended to require an applicant seeking to obtain orrenew a single-pilot authorization under this exemption to satisfactorily complete a proficiency checkwithin 30 days rather than the initially required 10 days. The previous Condition/LimitationNo. 12 has been amended to direct all flight training conducted in accordance with this exemption to be given by a flight instructor employed by FSI who also meets the applicable requirements ofCondition/Limitation No. 5 instead ofthe previously referenced Condition/Limitation No. 6 ofthis exemption. The previous Condition and Limitation No. 18, has been deleted as this Condition and Limitation is not pertinent to FSI. This deletion has resulted in previous Condition and Limitation Nos. 19, 20, 21, and 22 to become Condition and Limitation Nos. 18, 19, 20, and 21, respectively. A new Condition and Limitation No. 22 was added to match similar granted exemptions and to ensure that pilots operating underthis·exemption do so only in aircraft configured for operation by a single pilot seated in the leftpilot seat. Condition and Limitation No. 22 was · · ,; ., . a,l,;:_o.**\~dded·~o mat~h**  similar granted exemptions and to ensure the approved training course

,' •,' authorized by this exemption may Jiot be conducted under any business name otherthan FlightSafety International. We have· added Condition and Limitation No. 23 which limits this exemption to operations within the United States. IfFSI (or any pilot authorized for single-pilot operation by FSI) wishes to be able to operate underthis exemption outsidethe United States, they must make a request to the FAA in accordance with requirements of 14 CFR § 11.83. 

### OurDecision The FAA has determined that thejustification for the issuance and extension of Exemption No. 9899, as amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authorityprovided by 49 U.S.C. §§ 106(f), 40113, and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I grant FlightSafety International's petition, to allow FSIto train, test, and approve pilots (under its 14 CFR 142 training centercertificate, UJFX071K) to operate certain Cessna CE-500 series aircraft without a pilotwho is designated as SIG, subjectto the following conditions and limitations.
