 Exemption No. 9754A 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2008-0907 

Mr. Gary J. Ohlinger 

4338 Thornton Road, SE 

Olympia, WA 98513 

Dear Mr. Ohlinger: 

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

No. 9754. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the conditions 

and limitations. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated July 28, 2010, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for 

an extension of Exemption No. 9754. That exemption from § 91.109(a) and (b)(3) of 

Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations allows you to conduct certain flight instruction in 

Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft equipped with a functioning throwover wheel instead of 

functioning dual controls. 

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 you. 

Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 9754 

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.
