Mr. Anthony C. Hamilton Chief Inspector NetJets Aviation, Inc. 4111 Bridgeway Avenue Columbus, OH 432 19

Dear Mr. Hamilton :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted you r petition to extend Exemption No. 8662,

as amended . It explains the basis for our decision , desc ribes its effect, and lists the conditions

and limitations.

The Basis for Our De cision

By letter dated J anuary 8 , 201 5 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of NetJets Aviation, Inc. (NetJets), for an extension of Exemption No. 8662, as amended. That exemption from §§ 91.203(a) and (b) and 47.49 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows NetJets to temporarily operate U.S.

- registered aircraft in domestic operations without the registration or airworthiness certificates on board.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change i n 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 req uested extension of the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to NetJets.2

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for th e issuance of Exemption No. 8862, as amended, remains v alid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has delegat ed to me, I hereby grant NetJets Aviation, Inc. an exemption from §§ 91 .203(a) and (b) and 47.49 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) to allow

NetJets to temporarily operate U.S.

- registered aircraft in domestic operations without the registration or airworthiness certificates on board

, subject to the following co nditions and

limitations.

in Condition and Limitation No. 3(b) and must be kept current at all times;
