Exemption No. 10870A

Regulatory Docket No.FAA-2009-0333

Mr. Gregory Marcussen

Director of Operations

Jet Select, LLC

4130 E. Fifth Avenue

Columbus, OH 43219

Dear Mr. Marcussen:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 

10870,. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the conditions and 

limitations.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated May 7, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 

behalf of Jet Select, LLC (Jet Select) for an extension of Exemption No. 10870. That 

exemption from §§ 61.3(a) and (c) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows 

Jet Select to issue written confirmation of an FAA-issued crewmember certificate to a flight 

crewmember employed by that air carrier based on information in the air carrier’s approved 

record system. The written confirmation issued under the terms of this exemption is 

considered an acceptable means of compliance with the pilot certification, photo 

identification, and medical certificate requirements in §§ 61.3(a) and (c).

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 extension of the exemption would not set a 

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

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 10870

remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the 
2

authority provided by 49 U.S.C. § 106(f), 40113, and 44701, which the FAA Administrator 

has delegated to me I hereby grant Jet Select, LLC an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.3(a) and 

(c) to the extent necessary to allow Jet Select to issue company-provided facsimiles of pilot 

and medical certificates to its pilot crewmembers when those certificates are lost, destroyed, 

or misplaced, subject to the conditions and limitations described below.

Conditions and Limitations 

1. The privileges of this exemption are intended for situations where pilots have no 

access to airman services at the faa.gov website for receiving via fax or internet 

download FAA-issued documents that contain temporary authority to exercise 

certificate privileges.

2. This exemption allows Jet Select to develop and issue to a pilot flight crewmember 

a document confirming his/her FAA-issued pilot and medical certification. The 

document issued by Jet Select must be in the pilot flight crewmember’s physical 

possession when exercising the privileges of the exemption and must contain the 

following information: 

a. The pilot flight crewmember’s certification information from his/her pilot 

and medical certificates;

b. The exact text or a photocopy of this exemption; and

c. The Jet Select confirmation document must include the following 

statements: 

i. “Issued under the authority of Exemption No. 10870.” 

ii. “Expires [insert date/time 72 hours after issuance].” 

iii. “The privileges of this exemption may be exercised only for flights 

within the District of Columbia and the 48 contiguous United 

States, or is an intrastate operation that does not involve flight 

through international airspace.” 

iv. “The privileges of this exemption may only be exercised for 

scheduled or unscheduled air carrier flights. The privileges of this 

exemption may not be exercised for operations under part 91, or 

part 91 subpart K.”

3. Before conducting operations under this exemption, Jet Select must receive 

approval from its FAA principal operations inspector (POI) for the procedures Jet 

Select intends to employ in issuing a confirmation document to pilot flight 

crewmembers that do not have in their personal possession the required pilot 

and/or medical certificate or photo identification. These procedures must include a 

method to ensure positive identification of the pilot flight crewmember when the 

pilot no longer has photo identification. 

4. Each pilot flight crewmember who operates a flight under this exemption must: 
3

a. As soon as practicable, obtain from airman services at the faa.gov website a 

document containing temporary authority to exercise certificate privileges; 

b. If the pilot flight crewmember’s FAA pilot and medical certificate are 

permanently lost or destroyed, the pilot flight crewmember must comply 

with the requirements of § 61.29 and ensure a request for a replacement 

certificate from the FAA is made within 72 hours of the initiation of any 

flight conducted under this exemption. Jet Select is authorized to make this 

application to the FAA on behalf of the pilot flight crewmember; and 

c. Provide a copy of FAA-issued documents containing temporary authority 

to exercise certificate privileges to Jet Select within 24 hours of the receipt 

of that document. 

The Effect of Our Decision

This exemption terminates on June 30, 2017, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely,

/s/

John Barbagallo

Deputy Director, Flight Standards Service
