CAE SimuFlite

, Inc

. respectfully requests an extension to exemption No. 10039. Th is exemption covers FAR Part 91.9 and 91.531(a) (1) and (2) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations for operators of Cessna Citation models 500, 550, S550, 5 52 and 560, and aircraft modified by Sierra STC’s to permit certain qualified pilots operating a Sierra modified Cessna Citation Model 500 series airplane (Serial Nos. 0001 through 0418 only) equipped with supplemental type certificate (STC) No. SA8176SW o r STC No. SA09377SC and either STC No. SA2172NM, STC No. SA645NW, or STC No. ST09559AC to operate those aircraft without a pilot who is designated as second in command (SIC).

Specifically, below are the exact requirements this exemption is requested for:

• FAR Part 91.9(a) provides that no p erson may operate a civil aircraft without complying with the operating limitations specified in the approved Airplane Flight Manual and placards or as otherwise prescribed by the certificating authority of the country of registry.

• FAR Part 91.531(a)(1) provides that no person may operate a large airplane (greater than 12,500 pounds maximum certificated take

- off weight), without a pilot who is designated as second in command (SIC).

• FAR part 91.531(a)(2) provides that no person may operate a turbojet

- powered multiengine airplane for which two pilots are required under the type certification requirements for that airplane without a pilot who is designated as a second in command (SIC).

Granting CAE SimuFlite Inc’s petiti on request for extension will allow authorizations currently existing under a Cessna, Shannon or Sierra exemption to continue to be useful to Cessna owners after the Cessna, Shannon and Sierra exemptions expire d in 2010. More specifically, the grantin g of this petition will allow currently eligible Citation Model 500 series aircraft owners/operators to continue to operate at a significantly reduced expense.

Safety would not be adversely affected, as the current minimum requirements to operate

under th e exemptions in effect today will still be met as follows:

Each pilot conducti ng single

- pilot operations must

–

a. Before operations, complete a single

- pilot training program approved by the FAA’s
