NOTICE OF AERODYNAMICS INCORPORATED

OF INTENT TO RESUME CERTIFICATED AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS

and

UPDATED FITNESS INFORMATION

Aerodynamics I ncorporated (ADI) hereby gives notice of its intent to resume

certificated air carrier operations, and submits the updated fitness informat ion appended

to this notice as E xhibits A and B. This information is being filed in the public docket to

meet the Department ’ s requirements. The materials comprising Exhibit A we re filed with

the Department’s Air C arrier F itness D ivision on August 30, 2013. The materials

comprising Exhibit B were filed with the Fitness Division on February 28, 2014.

ADI hol ds certificates of public convenience and necessity for interstate and

foreign charter air transportation of person s, property and mail issued by O rder 2003

- 9

-

29. On October 15, 2012, ADI temporarily ceased air transportation operations. The

cessatio n was attributable to financial pressure. ADI acknowledges its DOT certificate

authority is dormant at present.

### O n January 7, 2013, ADI filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under

Chapter 11 of the U

. S

. Bankruptcy Code. The process culminated with confirmation of

ADI’s reorganization plan and its emergence from Chapter 11 on August 12, 2013.

During the period of reorganization, ADI relocated its primary operations office

from Michigan to the Atlanta area. In July 2013, the FAA’s Atlanta Fl ight Standards

District Office reissued ADI’s air carrier certificate and its Part 121 operations

specifications to enable ADI to operate Embraer 145 aircraft in a 50

- passenger

configuration.

The EMB

- 145, designed for a maximum of 55 occupants, is a small aircraft as

defined in the Department’s regulations. To enable ADI to resume small

- aircraft

commercial operations at an early date, in addition to the steps taken with the FAA, ADI

submitted a Part 298 a ir t axi registration to the Department; the registration was

a pproved on June 20, 2013. An amended air taxi registration adding a second EMB

- 145

to ADI’s fleet was approved on September 16, 2013.

Pursuant to the DOT and FAA authorizations described above, ADI commenced

EMB

- 145 operations in late July 2013. AD I has been operating its EMB

- 145s in Part 298

air taxi service continuously since that date. Among the limitations imposed under this

form of service, however, is that ADI cannot operate more than four publicly

- availab l e

round

- trips a week between the sam e two points.

As more fully explained in Exhibit B, ADI intends in the coming weeks to

inaugurate operations with its existing equipment that will involve a daily round

- trip

between the same two points. ADI needs, therefore, to undergo a fitness re

dete rmination and reinstate its dormant DOT certificate authority

– hence, ADI’s

submission of information to the Fitness Division, the present submission to the docket

,

and the pleadings filed contemporaneously here with

.

### ADI requests that the Department r e

- determine its fitness and reinstate its

certificate authority as soon as reasonably possible. To help enable ADI to commence the

new service described in Exhibit B in a timely fashion, which would be in the public

interest, ADI asks that th e Department dispense with a show

- cause order in this matter

and reinstate ADI’s certificate authority by oral decision with written confirmation to

follow.

Respectfully submitted,
