I am aware of FAR 11.63 and 11.81 which requires me to submit my petition for to waive one of three 

tests, namely, the oral test administered by FAA. I need an exemption from Title 14 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) 65.71. If this exemption is granted, it would allow me to be eligible for a mechanic 

certification and associated ratings, I am hearing impaired and unable to speak, however, I can write 

and read English for written and practical tests for the A & P license. 

The FAA has issued a grant of exemption in similar circumstances in all material respects to those 

presented in my petition. In Grant of Exemption Nos. 8324,6840, and 6015 (copies enclosed), the 

FAA found there are many aviation tasks that a person with hearing and speech impairments can 

perform without creating unsafe situations. The FAA determined that such disabilities would not 

present a safety hazard and that it is in the public interest to train and employ persons with disabilities 

injobs that they are capable of performing. 

The petition states that I was enrolled and completed the airframe and power plant program in Orange 

Coast College in Costa Mesa, California. Indeed, OCC provided the aid of interpreters with me and I 

am able to perform in FAA-approved curriculum requirements for certification as an aircraft mechanic. 

I will meet all the FAA requirements as well as follow FAR 65.71, except for the requirement that I 

speak English. 

Also I worked for BIE Aerospace in Marysville and Everett, Washington and UAE (United Arab 

Emirates) respectively, and I am currently employed for the same company in Anaheim, California. 

Working responsibilities included but are not limited to, repair and electrical/mechanical technician. I 

assisted in the design and manufacturing of high technology test system and support equipment, 

including the layout and installation of an intricate control unit's air chiller and the repairing of 

electrical circuits, fan motors and controls. I have a complete understanding of Component 

Maintenance Manuals (CMM). 

It would be much helpful and appreciated if this exemption could be processed as soon as possible. 

Sincerely, 

Lee Soltani
