 Exemption No. 10061J 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2010-0185 

Mr. Colin S. Fender 

Supervisor, Flight Test Engineering 

The Boeing Company 

P.O. Box 3707 

Seattle, WA 98124 

Dear Mr. Fender: 

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to amend Exemption 

No. 10061, as amended. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effects, and lists 

the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated June 27, 2012, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 

behalf of The Boeing Company (Boeing) for an amendment to Exemption No. 10061, as 

amended. That exemption from §§ 61.75(d)(2) and 61.117 of Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations allows certain pilots to operate Boeing model B787 and B747-8 aircraft while 

conducting evaluation flights on behalf of their respective agencies within the United States. 

The amendment you request would revise the list of pilots who may operate under this 

exemption. 

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons 

relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption. 

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition 

in the Federal Register because the requested amendment to the exemption would not set a 

precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Boeing.

Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 10061, as 

amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. 

Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. §§ 40113 and 44701, which the FAA 

Administrator has delegated to me, I grant your petition, subject to the following conditions 

and limitations.
