### Wings FHghtsof Hope Inc. (herefnafter "Wings"), Isa not-for-profit volunteer pilot organization rVPO"1 with approval from the Internal Revenue Service as a charitable organIzation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code ("IRC")section SOl(c)3. The primary purpose ofWings is to serve chltdren, adults and humanitarian organizations by providing free airtransportation by volunteer pilOtsfor access to health care and for other humanitarian purposes, Copies of Wings Certificate of Incorporation and IRC section SOl(c)3 approval from the Internal Revenue service are attached as exhibit "1" and "2". "'. ! . 

### , Wings hereby petitionS for an exemptIOn from the provlsion ofthe regulations InTitle 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations ~ 61.113(c) that currently does not allow the reimbursement ofvolunteer pilOtsfor fuel costs Incurred by them in collductil'l8 charitable fHghtstransporting patients to or from. distant specialized medical evaluation, di8BJ1ostlc services, or treatment. Wings believes It is in the public's best Interest to allow Wings to reimburse volunteer pilots for fuel cost Incurred on such charitable flights. REASONSfOR REQUEmNG 

## THE EXEMPTION Section 61.113(c) provides that: " Aprivate pilot may not pay less than the pro rata share ofthe operating expenses of a flight with passengers; provided the expenses involve only fuel, oil, airport expenditures or rental fees." .< . ' .

### Fuel costs have continued to rise and, coupled Withthe downturn on the economy over the last three years, It hasbecomeinereaslngly difficult for some volunteer pilots to carry out charitable fHghts and IncreaslnJly difficult for chllritable organizations to recruit volunteer pilots. The dear effect of regulations Inthe current economy, Withthe higher fuel costs and aircraft expenses, has been a dedine in pilot participation.: 'c." U .;:>''-,)1',' 1l.;:'::'!'~, 'on;, . :,:':

## mE PU8YC INTEREST

# INGRANTING THEREQUlSlm IXwPJION

Up until recently, the full cost of charitable flights has rested with the volunteer pilots. A significant portion ofthe cost borne bythe pilots Isfor fuel. Those costs can be calculated and quantified very carefully on the basis of recorded flighttimes, nominal bum rates and average retail fuel costs. If Wings were able to reimburse Its pilots for the fuel component ofthe charitable flights, that would help increase the level of volunteer pilots participation and thereby Increase patient access to flights. That would directly benefit the public. 

## 1MP8OV£PSAFID The exemption granted by the FAA to Angel FlightMId-Atlantic in Exemption No. 10009.A increases the experience level ofvolunteer pilots, augments a culture of safety and increases documentation of pilot compliance as well as VPOcompliance with safety mandates. 8y granting the requested exemption to Wings,the FAA willpromOte its safety and regulatory objectlliesthrough another volunteer pilot organization. Respectfully submitted,
