PETITION FOREXEMPTION fOR REIMBURS£MENT OFF-UElCOSTS fOlt VOLUNTEER PilOTS

CONDUCTINGCHARITABLEFUGHTS

SUmmary of petition

Wings FHghtsof Hope Inc. (herefnafter "Wings"), Is a 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 of Wings is to serve chltdren, adults

and humanitarian organizations by providing free air transportation 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 of the regulations In Title 14 of the

Code of Federal Regulations ~ 61.113(c) that currently does not allow the reimbursement of volunteer

pilOtsfor fuel costs Incurred by them in collductil'l8 charitable fHghtstransporting patients to or from.

distant specialized medical evaluation, di8BJ1ostlcservices, 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.

REASONS fOR REQUEmNG THE EXEMPTION

Section 61.113(c) provides that:

" Aprivate pilot may not pay less than the pro rata share of the 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, With the higher fuel costs and aircraft expenses, has been a dedine

in pilot participation.

Wings believes that a targeted exemption, such as,the, one granted to Anae' Flight Mid-Atlantic

(Exemption No. l0009-A, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2009-G702), and also such as granted to "

Patient Airlift Services, will stop the decline In volunteer pilot hours resulting from high costs of

aviation fuei, and at the same time enhance aviation safety In charitable medical flights.

WINGS CHARIIAfllE FUGHTS

benefit. Examples of charitable flights by Wings Inetude, but are not limited to , the transport of patients

and escorts to distant specialized medical facilities or places of care and rehabilitation. A Wings pilot

Up until recently, the full cost of charitable flights has rested with the volunteer pilots. A

significant portion of the cost borne by the pilots Isfor fuel. Those costs can be calculated and quantified

very carefully on the basis of recorded flight times, nominal bum rates and average retail fuel costs. If

Wings were able to reimburse Its pilots for the fuel component of the 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 FAAto Angel Flight MId-Atlantic in Exemption No. 10009.A

increases the experience level of volunteer 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 FAAwill promOte its safety and regulatory objectlliesthrough

another volunteer pilot organization.

Respectfully submitted,

Wings F1ls1* of Hope, 'nt.
