SUBJECT: Federal Express Corporation- Request for an Extension of FAA 

Exemption No. 10580A from Title 14 CFR Part 121.6Sl.(b)(2) 

Dear Sirs: By letter dated 10 June 2014, Federal Express Corporation received a Grant of Exemption 

from section 121.651(b)(2) ofTitle 14, Code ofFederal Regulations. This exemption would 

allow FedEx aircraft properly equipped with an Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) to 

continue an approach beyond the final approach fix, or to begin the final approach segment 

of an insh·ument approach procedure, even if the latest weather rep01i for that airport reports 

the visibility to be less than the visibility minimums prescribed for the procedure. The 

exemption terminates on 31 July 2016. 

By this correspondence, FedEx requests the FAA to extend Exemption No. 10580 until 31 

July 2018, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. FedEx is actively utilizing Exemption 

10580A for our MD10/MD11 Fleet and it is providing safety and operational benefits to om 

company and to the general public. The justifications for the Exemption, and safety 

analysis contained in om original petition are still viable and pertinent, and we believe that 

the public interest remains served by the grant thereof. 

FedEx appreciates yom careful and thoughtful consideration of this request. If you have 

questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at yom earliest convenience.
