Re: Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2004-19868 

Exemption No. 8469 

Dear Mr. Ballough: 

This is to request an extension to the above noted exemption fix)m FAR 91-109(a), which 

allows me to conduct certain flight training in certain Beechcraft Bonanza/Debonair 

airplanes that are equipped with a fianctiomng throwover control wheel. My current 

exemption expires on January 31, 20II 

This request is based on the fact that the conditions and reasons regarding public interest 

and safety, presented in my original petition upon this exemption was granted remain 

unchanged, except for my flight time and instructional time Viiiich has increased over the 

preceding years. I am still an active flight instructor with the American Bonanza 

Society's "Beechcraft Pilot Proficiency Program" (BPPP), in addition to giving BFR's 

and IPC's to many individual Bonanza owners.. 

Enclosed is a copy of your letter dated October 6, 2008, granting that exemption. 

If you have any questions, please contact me via telephone at (760)636-0622 or e-mail at 

briesen@dc.iT,coiT). Thank you. 

Very truly yours 

William R. Riesen ^

Dear Mr. Riesen: 

Tliis letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 8469, 

as amended. It explains the basis For our decision and describes its effect. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated August 15,2008, you petitioned the Federal A^'^ation Administration (FAA) 

for an extension of Exemption No. S469, as amended. That exemption from § 91.109(a) and 

(b)(3) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations allows you to conduct certain flight instruction 

and simulated instrument jflights to mtset tlie recent experience requirements in Beechcraft 

airplanes equipped with a flmctioning throwover control wheel. 

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 suramary 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 you. 

Our Decision ^*-

The FAA has determined that the jitstiiication for the issuance of Exemption No. 8469, as 

amended, remains valid with respect to tliis exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, 

tinder the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 4470L wluch the FAA Administrator 

has delegated to me,-I grant your petition.
