WAIVERS AND AUTHORIZATIONS

A. WAIVERS/AUTHORIZATIONS - FAA Form 7711-1

1. The Certificate of Waiver is associated mostly with aviation events other than parachuting operations and constitutes a waiver of only those regulations stated, to the degree and for the period of time specified in the certificate. The Certificate of Waiver does not constitute a waiver of any state law or local ordinance. Should the proposed operation conflict with any state law, local ordinance, or required permission of local authorities or propert y owners, it shall be the applicant's responsibility to resolve the difficulty. The provisions of the waiver shall apply, regardless of the statements contained in th e application for Certificate of Waiver. The waiver shall be considered void upon completion of the authorized schedule of events or at the latest time shown on the f ace of the Certificate of Waiver, whichever occurs earlier. The air show will consist of only those maneuvers or events specified in Item 14 of the application, or in an att achment to the Application for Certificate of Waiver.

2. The Certificate of Authorization is similar to the certificate of waiver but does not waive any regulations but the regulati on requires specific requirement to ensure safety that are expressed in the standard and special provisions attached to the Authorization Certificate. Authorization Certificates are normally issued for the purpose of parachuting demonstrations in accordance with 14 CFR 105.
