PETITION SUMMARY 

The Palm Springs Air Museum (PSAM) requests an exemption from 14 CFR 91 .319, 14 CFR 119.5 (g) 

and 14 CFR 119.21 for the purpose of giving passenger flight experiences in its North American T-28 

(N372C, Bureau Number 138203) for compensation or hire. The T-28 is licensed in the Experimental 

category and has historic significance as one of the few survivors of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The T-28 

was also the primary trainer for USAF and Naval Aviator flight schools, until it was retired in 1984. 

Thousands of U.S. military pilots started their aviation training in this aircraft who later on became 

famous Aces, Astronauts and Test Pilots. 

The Palm Springs Air Museum (PSAM) also requests an exemption from 14 CFR 91.315, 14 CFR 

119.5 (g) and 14 CFR 119.21 for the purpose of giving passenger flight experiences in its North 

American P-51 Mustang (N151BP, Serial Number 44-74908) for compensation or hire. The P-51 is 

licensed in the Limited category and has historic significance as the most iconic aircraft of W. W.II. The 

success ofthe United States in winning World War II is due largely to this aircraft. 

It is the desire of PSAM to provide flight experiences in these two aircraft to its members and the 

general public. 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 

The PSAM is located centrally within California's Coachella Valley at Palm Springs International 

Airport (KPSP). KPSP was used during W. W. II originally as a staging field for the Air Corps 

Ferrying Command 21st Ferrying Group. Later during the war, training was also provided to pursuit 

pilots by IV Fighter Command, 459th Base Headquarters and Air Base Squadron. This was 

accomplished in P-51 Mustangs, P-40 Warhawks and P-38 Lightnings. The PSAM is a not-for-profit 

501(c)(3) museum, established in 1994. Started by Robert J. Pond, a World War II Veteran pilot, the 

Museum houses three main display hangars, theater, gift shop, ramp and airport access for flight 

demonstrations, visiting planes, research library, simulator and an education center. The Museum is 

also used as the site for celebrity galas, private parties, balls and military reunions. Since its founding 

in 1994, the PSAM has been seen by over 1.5 million visitors (not including airshows) and is annually 

a very close second place as the top tourist attraction in historic Palm Springs. Notable past 

contributors and supporters to the PSAM include: Bob Hope, Tom Brokaw, as well as many former 

Generals/Admirals, Astronauts, Veterans and former U.S. military Chiefs of Staff. Many of the 

PSAM's 35 aircraft have been featured in various Hollywood movies, commercials and documentaries 

as televised on The History Channel, The Travel Channel, and several others. Recent Hollywood 

movies that PSAM aircraft have participated in include Disney's movie, "Planes", as well as "Pearl 

Harbor". The PSAM also has significant community involvement through education and outreach 

programs. The Museum is currently actively involved in several projects that include, but are not 

limited to: Federal STEM (Science, Technology, Education and Math) programs, an Aviation Explorers 

Program that will allow pre-college, high school age children from "at-risk", low socio-economic

t~ honor our .U.S . .Veterans thtoll;gh ap independent not-for-profit collecti.on, he started the PSAM. as a 

501(c)(3~ in 1'994 . . Si_n~e then, the Muse~ ~ ctirrently_listed .. in CNN's "Top 14 Air Muse~s in the 

Wo\ld" .- has been ,one ~ft,he wqrJd's p,remier W: W,Ir ai.rcraft collections_ with. a missio~. of preservation, 

exhibition and education of W. W.II aircraft to show the role of the American citizeQ. 1

in W. W.II. As 

most of the aircraft in the collection are airworthy, they' are flowri for museum "Flight Demonstrations" 

as well as displayed at numerous airshows around the Unite<;i States where they are seen by many 

thousands of people. .As these pdctrless artifacts become more rare and vaiuable over time, it becomes 

increasingly difficult to mai~tain, operate,· .imd display .the aircraft t9 the general public. High operating 

costs .<;iue to s.carce availability of parts, reasonable nsuran~e nites and ~xpensiye fuel costs ·all 

contribute to permanently ground.irig these aircraft in the colleption . . As such, it be~pmes necessary to 

find more ways' to generate income to keep ~hese aircraft operating.. One way which generates 

significaii income }~ to charge members of the public f~r flight experiences to help defray the steep 

operating costs. It is this avenue which the PSAM will be increasingly relying upon for future sources 

of income. •( , ..

Since the T-28 wa~ the primary trainer for all the Armed Forces of: the 'united States <;itViilg ~he J ~59's 

and. 1960's, many, p1any thousands. of ,Veterans. have an affinitY for the role this airc~a~ . had in their 

training. By being able to se'll flight experiences in our T-28, it is our hope that Ve~erans ,. their 

families, airplane buffs, and the general public will be able to experience the sight, s()unds and feelings 

that only the T-28 can offer. The T-28 is unique in that it is the only single-engine United States 

manufactured military tricycle gear aircraft with a reciprocati.ng radial engine that has, 2 sea.ts. .It was 

designed this way to simulate the feel and -performance of"earlfjet fi'gfiters for· studei1Cpi1ot:s 'Since 

most people carmot financiaJ}y afford to fly a jet fighter, this is the· closest approximation the general 

public can get to ,simulating .a high performelBC~ aircraft wit~ jet-like qualities at ~ affor~ab~e price.; 

This unusual trait,. along with its ,direc,t involvement in the training of U.S. Military Pilots and combat 

history in South East Asia, makes. this aircnift historical and worth showcasing, displaying 'imd flying

W. W.II. Its legacy and history deserves promotion for· future generatioris. The Mustang's invbiv'enient 

is one o"f1he primary reasons that Victory 'was sec tired for the Allies during W. W.Il. It · goes without 

saying that the legendary P-51 should be available for ordinary Citizens to obtain flight 'experiences in.-

Our particular aircraft, currently being restored, will be repainted in the markings of famed Tuskegee 

airman, Lt. Col. Bob Friend. Col. Friend is active with our Museum and will accompapy the. airqaft on. 

tour as it promotes awareness of diversity and the contribution of Tuskegee airmen-with ·the -g'en.enil 

public at airshows and Museum events. This will crea,te the opportunity to touch literally thousands of

Since the T-28 and P-51 will be subje'ct to aU the nonhal restrictions and limitations as so dated with this 

Exemption, operations·will only allow passenget flights to depait·and land frbin the same airport within 

a 25 to 50· NM radius. Futille pas'seilgers ·in'·'the T-28 and P-51 will not be: using these aircraft 'for

Providing flight experiences in the T-28 and P-51 benefits the public as a tactile historical artifact that 

honors our Veter~s and a,llows the general public to experi~nce the sights, sounds and feelings that our

EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY- FLIGHT OPERATIONS ' ., r ' 

. ' 11,1 

. ', j ; 

ln'2013, P~AM leadership decided to mak~ ari already successful Flight Operations Department at the 

Museum safer, more efficient;· and more effective at accomplishing Museum goals,' while at the same 

time minimizing risk. After consultation :with nurri.erous employees, volunteers and 'friends of the 

Musellin, an internal audit was accomplished:: The result oftl).is audit was a desire to increase' emphasis 

in' several key areas. To accomplish these imp'rovements,' a n·ew Flight Standards Convriittee (FSC) 

team was formed to make autonomous decisions on safety, training, standardization, cilrrency and pilot 

selection criteria/standards without "political" influence from other departments and leadership. The 

purpose of constructing this committee was to make safe; balanced decisions free from politi'cs, and 

3 
the "go<?d ple' boy" mentality and attitud~ tqwards flight opera,tions. The FSC, who only. reports 

directly to; tpe Museum Director, is comprised of the pirector. of Operations (DO), Director of 

Mainteqance (DM) and several other PSAM pilots.; T.he new ~hairman and head of the FSC -is one of

autonomous authority to recommend sciplin~ up t9, and including termination, to the iyfuseum 

Director for infractions of FAR's, the PSAM FOM, or Museum rules/policy. Additionally, all PSAM 

pilots.. ~re required. to s.ign fl.· co,mpliance statement s~ti.ng ;that ~h~y understcwd. and .agree to abic}.e by all 

rules, restrictions, regulations, apd policies as dictated _by th(f ,PSAM FOJvtand FAR's. . Refusal to sign 

or comply by any PSAM pilo~ ~s immedi(l.te grou~ds for ~xpulsion from Flight Ops . . 

.. - . ·~ 

The experience lev~l of the PSAM Flight Ops staff is ~ast. ,Our pilots have backgroun9s that include 

not only general avia~ion experience, but m.~l~tary (in~l\lding combat time), airline and corporate as 

well. Between the 7 ;pilots on ;staff., tQ_e . experience .leveJ exceeds 50,000 hows. of flight time. 

Currently, every PSAM pilot has previously flown with another air museum prior to joining the PSAM 

staff. As part of the :qewly reorganized Flight Ops department, manda,tory ground- sch9ol, safety 

training and. aircr.aft cP,eckrides are con~ucted on· ~ · <;LWlUal qasjs. _ . Concurren_tly,. with the 

reorganization, PSAM is a,.lso . seeking a Letter o( Au~hori?:a.tioJ;I Jqr, an. e~emption fro!ll 14 CFR 91.14 7 

for utilizing Standardca.tegory aircraft fqr passengeq:; a~ying _ When we receive the 14 CFR 91.147 

Letter of Authorization, .I?SAM t1ight experience pilots ~d maintenance personnel ,will be ,subject to 

mandatory FAA approve.d and . regulated r;mdom· d.rug/alcohol testing. _This . .is .yet. another. layer of 

safety. that ensur~s the quality of the PSAM staff i_s very_ high,. · ; . . - . . ; , 

.. J 

It is this continual emphasis on safety, train~ng and· .standardization, which forms the -b.ackbone .of. the 

efficacy of the FSC a,nd consequently,· the PSA_M pilots. That will ens.ui-e that the. quality of p-ilots that 

fly with paying passenger~ will be, trem~ly high. It .is ·:be~ause of thes~ . reason,s th(l.t the, PSAM 

believes its flight operations will meet or exceed that of normal "standard" category aircraft 

requirements to_ proviqe the equ,ivalent level of-s<;tfety,_. 

EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY- MAINTENANCE

extensive experience in maip.taining :W.W.II. and post War. military aircraft. Several of its employees,

all ·of whom have an Airframe and ' Powerpl mt · (A&P) certificate, have worked in wor'ld ·class 

restoration shops, I air museums arid commercial avi~fion maintenance operations. Many of the 

volunteers ate retired/former military trained maintainers who are supervised by PSAM·staff: Between 

the experience, knowledge and extensive maintenance records/manuals/tech orders/liorary that PSAM 

maintains, the maintenance! department is held ·to :a vety high standard - far above that requir~d of 1'4: 

CFR 43. All of the flyable aircraft in the PSAM· are maintained' in airworthy condition as'dictated by 

14 CFR 43, aircraft maintenance manuals and specific directives. · · 

The T-28 was built as a ·replacement trainer for the 'Nbrth Americari AT-6 I SNJ to· provide primary 

flight instruction to beginning student pilots. ·Since the T~28 was built to withstarrd the tigers of student 

piiot training, as well as aircraft carrier operations; it i·s -apparent that the construction was built to a 

very high standard. This fully aerooatic ' airplane . Was. built not bn1y to survive and · flouris-h ·in this 

mission, but also that of combat utilization.' · The'T-28 was used in many · different ·wars overseas, 

including use in ·Southeast Asia by the·· United States J\ir Force (USAF). . . : '! I • • '. 

It ·is· because of its rugged design construction, ·foimer military use, and current widespread successful 

operation in the civllian market, that we believe ·the T-28 to· be buiit to a 'level higher than that of a 

"Standard" category aircraft. The T-28's ·nearly· 65 year history of successful operation; along with 

examples of it being licensed in the "Standard" category, all bear testament to the fact that the aircraft is 

extremely rugged, reliable and safe. ···Indeed, we believe this aerobatic and carrier-based· combat 

aircraft, combined with our ·highly experienced · and supported maintenance' team, Will be able to 

succeed in the benign enviro'nment of local non-aerobatic passenger flight experiences. 

The P:.51 Mustang was built as a reliable combat aircraft for long-range missions. ' It was designed' to 

operate ih an extremely-demanding eirvironrilent involving combat, weather conditions and robust use 

by inexperienced pilots. Its top notch· combat ·and safety record bear witness to its· success as a safe, 

reliable aircraft that will bring its pilot home liil.der·even the most austere condition's.- The capstone of; 

its success is epitomized by the fact 'that th:is 1940 design was retired as an active military combat 

aircraft only recently" in 1984. Even priot to its retirement then, the Mustahg design had beeri used 

for many decades as an air racer, sport flyer; test 'aircraft, and '"livin'g history" memorial aircraft. Its 

record of safety is well established and its ability to perform as a "Living History Flight Exemption" 

aircraft; as)·evidenced by"inany years of prior operation of bthei museunis' P-§ 1-'s, ·leaves no doubt as to 

its suitability in thi·s rok. Our particular aircraft was overhauled by ·Cavalier in the mid · 1960's. It was 

maintained and operated as a corporate airp'lane to ·a l~vel equivalent to ·'

1Stan'dard" category rules. 

Because of these aforementioned reasons, we believe that PSAM will be able to ·provide· an equivalent 

level of safety or higher from a maintenance standpoint for both aircraft. 

DESCRIPTION OF RELIEF SOUGHT 

The PSAM requests exemption: from 14 CFR 91:319, 14 CFR 119.5 (g) and 14 CFR 119.21 fbr'the

purpose of giving flight experiences in the Experimental category T-28 for compensation or hire, and 

from 14 CFR 91.315, 14 CFR 119.5 (g) and 14 CFR 119.21 for the purpose of giving flight experiences 

in the Limited category P-51 for compensation or hire. The PSAM has demonstrated that an equivalent 

level or higher of safety will be imparted to the pilots and participants of its flight operations. This is 

provided through extensive oversight via the Flight Standards Committee of the Flight Ops department 

who has autonomous authority over safety, training, standardization and minimums. An equivalent 

level or higher of safety in maintenance is ensured by not only our FAA approved maintenance 

program, but also through our highly qualified, supported, and experienced mechanics and volunteers. 

The granting of this Exemption will not set precedence as the FAA has already given many Exemptions 

to Experimental category licensed T-28's and Limited category licensed P-51 's in the past and currently. 

The granting of these Exemptions will increase the public's awareness and educational value pertaining 

to our nation's history and help contribute toward the long term prosperity and future of the PSAM so it 

can continue its mission of preservation, exhibition and education.
