 Exemption No. 8847B 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2002-13887 

Mr. Henry Canterbury 

4711 North Litchfield Knoll South 

Litchfield Park, AZ 85340 

Dear Mr. Canterbury: 

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 8847, 

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

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated November 26, 2010, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) for an extension of Exemption No. 8847, as amended. That exemption from 

§ 91.1099a) and (b)(3) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations allows you to conduct certain 

flight instruction and simulated instrument flights to meet the recent experience requirements 

in certain Beechcraft airplanes equipped with a functioning throwover control wheel in place 

of functioning dual controls. 

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 you. 

Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 8847, as 

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

Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA 
 2

Administrator has delegated to me, I grant your petition. All conditions and limitations of 

Exemption No. 8847, as amended, remain the same and are as follows:

 c. To accomplish the recency of instrument experience requirements of

 in every respect to serve as PIC of the airplane during the entire training period. During

The Effect of Our Decision
