AirDialog LLC (d/b/a Linear Air), Air Carrier Certificate Number L41A034L, is requesting exemption from the requirements of 14 CFR 43.3(g) to allow its properly trained pilots (under an approved training program) to accomplish updates of navigational software databases ofinstalled flight management systems. This applies to all aircraft used in operations under 14 CFR parts 135. The primary contacts in this matter are: William Herp Director ofOps and CEO 781-820-5860 wherp@,linearair.com Robert Freitas Director ofMaintenance 978-501-0946**t?ti·eit::~:?@lint)"!rair,<:9m**

### This Petition for Exemption ("Petition") is submitted in accordance with 14 CFR 11 and seeks permanent relief from certain rules issued by the Federal Aviation Administration governing persons authorized to perform preventive maintenance, in the form of updating Air Traffic Control (ATC) navigational software databases, on airc.raft used in operations under 14 CFRparts 135.

This petition request applies to all Linear Air pilots who have completed instruction covered under the approved training program and who are authorized by the Director of Operations or his designee to accomplish updates of ATC navigational software databases in accordance with accepted procedures, on their assigned Linear Air aircraft used in operations under 14 CFR parts 135. Specific ReliefRequested 

### Linear Air seeks an exemption to 14 CFR43.3(g) to allow Linear Air pilots to perform preventive maintenance, in the form ofupdating ATC navigational software databases ofits aircraftthat are used in operations under 14 CFRparts 135.

### Linear Air also requests to use the exemption, ifgranted, outside ofthe United States. Annually, Linear Air conducts international flights. The public benefit and equivalent safety evidence supporting this exemption request have equal applicability to Linear Air's international flights. 14 CFR 43.3(g) states, in pertinent part, that 

### "Exceptfor holders ofa sport pilot certificate, the holder ofa pilot certificate issued under part 61 may perform preventive maintenance on any aircraft owned or operated by thatpilotwhich is not usedunderpart121, 129 or135of this chapter." The 14 CFR 43.3(a) reference is made to Appendix A to part43 as containing the items that are considered to be preventive maintenance and thus subject to provisions in 14 CFR 43.3(g). Specifically, paragraph (c)(32) of Appendix A to part 43 identifies 

### "updating self-contained,
...ATC navigational software databases" as preventive maintenance items. In essence, the current rule prevents a pilot who operates an aircraft under parts 135 from accomplishing navigational database updates and requires those updates to be accomplished by authorized maintenancepersonnel. Public Benefit Linear Air is apart 135 Air Carrier certificated in accordance with 14 CFR 119. Linear Air operates EA500 aircraft on demand. Annually, Linear Air operates over 1,000 flight operations carrying approximately 2,600 passengers. Several airports that Linear Air serves have limited air service. These airports are often in locations where weather conditions and surrounding terrain can have an impact on the reliability of air service. The number of airports served solely by RNAV procedures is increasing and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Advanced RNAV capability is also akey enabler in the FAA'sNext generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). The FAA has promoted RNAV as serving the general public interest because RNAV benefits the safety, access, capacity, predictability and operational efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS), and reduces environmental impacts of aviation 1 • 

### Specifically RNAV procedures provide:

• Reduced risk ofcontrolled flight into terrain (CFIT) • Improved airport and airspace access in all weather conditions, and ability to meet

environmental and obstacle clearance constraints • Enhanced reliability and reduced delays by defining more precise terminal area

procedures • Reduced workload and improved productivity ofair traffic controllers The majority ofLinear Air aircraft are appropriately equipped and authorized by the FAA to use RNAV routes and procedures. All terminal RNAV procedure authorizations as well as some RNAV route authorizations require that the ATC navigational database by "current". RNAV allows Linear Air to serve airports and routes that better satisfY the communities we serve. However, this service leads to an aircraft being away from a location where authorized maintenance personnel would normally be available to update the navigational software database when the previous database expires. When the navigational database has "expired" operation ofthe aircraft is permitted by the FAA Approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL), but only when RNAV routes and procedures (i.e. those requiring a current navigational database) are notused.5 Concord Farms 555 Virginia Road , Concord, MA 01 742

### Equivalent Safety 

### When the current rule (defining database updates as 'preventive maintenance') was issued in May, 1996, updating ofnavigational databases often required removal ofthe navigation unit from the instrument panel and, in some cases, disassembly ofthe unit itself. The rule intended to adapt federal regulations to the state ofmodern technology in use atthe time. In the ensuing fifteen years technological advances in flight management systems have Jed to simple, user-friendly procedures for updating navigational databases. In no case does the navigational database updating procedure described for any ofLinear Air's aircraft require parts removal, disassembly of a panel-mounted unit, or use of any special tools. Instead, all flight management systems of Linear Air's aircraft have simple data loaders that obtain navigational database updates via commonly used digital media (such as a USB drive). The procedures for accomplishing the navigational database update are contained within the Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) for the installed flight management system. Attached is a copy ofthe published steps for insertion and removal ofthe data card to the units. The simple act outlined in 3 steps for either insertion or removal is, in our estimation, well within the scope ofthe pilot's ability. Additionally, it is not uncommon for general aviation pilots to conduct this process in their personal aircraft. These pilots are often not subject to the same structured routine training programs as Air Transport Pilot (ATP) certificated pilots that work for the world's airlines. By providing the ability for Linear Air's ATP certificated pilots to conductthis task, there is no reduction in the level ofsafety to the flying public.

### FAA "Roadmap for Performance BasedNavigation", July 2006, page 7. Linear Air believes that allowing properly trained pilots to accomplish updates of navigational software databases in their assigned aircraft, provides an equivalent level ofsafety to that achieved by having authorized maintenance personnel accomplish the update.

• Linear Air pilots use the flight management system in their assigned aircraft on

a daily basis and are thoroughly trained in all aspects ofits normal operation and non-normal operating characteristics, to include the installed navigational database. • Updating the navigational database is simple and does not require any special

tools or removal/disassembly ofany components. • There are no known instances of an incident or accident attributable to pilot

updating ofa navigational software database. • Linear Air pilots will be specifically trained in all aspects of the updating

procedure, including non-normal indications, any required operational checks, and the requirement to contact the Director of Maintenance (DOM) if any abnormalities are encountered while accomplishing the update. • After successfully completing the update, the pilot who performed the

navigational database update procedure will be required to document the completion in the maintenance logbook and contact DOM to report completion ofthe update. • Maintenance technicians, who are certified and authorized maintenance

technicians for Linear Air, approve the work accomplished by the pilot as the person directly ir. 

### charge of maintenance in accordance with 14 CFR 135.435(b). The DOM or maintenance technician contacted by the pilot will be required to review and confirm with the pilot that the update was accomplished in accordance with the prescribed procedure. • The required aircraft log entry for the update will be signed by the DOM or

authorized maintenance technician, and the aircraft will be returned to service in accordance with Linear Air's approved maintenance procedures.5 Concord Farms 555 Virginia Road Concord, MA 017 42 Tel: 781-860-9696 Fax: 978-369-121 3

### Federal Register Summary and Publication 

### Linear Air seeks an exemption to 14 CFR 43.3(g) to allow its pilots that are properly trained and qualified under an approved training program, to perform preventive maintenance, in the form of updating ATC navigational software databases on its aircraft used in operations under 14 CFR parts 135. Granting of the requested exemption will benefit the public because pilot updating ofnavigational databases will significantly reduce the number of times a Linear Air aircraft is operated with an expired navigational database. In seeking this exemption Linear Air asserts that an equivalent level ofsafety, as provided by the current rule, is achieved and maintained by use ofits properly trained pilots, as approved maintenance procedures. Linear Air requests a waiver ofthe 120-day filing requirements and the publishing ofa summary of the Petition in the Federal Register. Any delay in granting of this exemption request will needlessly encumber FAA resources and result in additional delay for relief. Please contact any one ofthe Linear Air leadership listed at the beginning ofthis letter, or myself, iffurther information is needed to process this request. Respectfully,

# AIRDIALOG, LLC REVISION: ORIGINAL Navigation Database Update Procedures 1.0 OVERVIEW NDP 1-2 NOVEMBER 1, 2012

Electronic Navigation Databases are updated on acyclical basis. Generally, updates are provided by private vendors through asubscription service on a 14, 28, or56 day cycle, depending on the required coverage. 2.0 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT Programming requires acomputerwith internet connectivity and aUSB port. USB port speeds of 1.0 are supported, and USB portspeeds of2.0 are preferred. For Garmin 400W units, aproprietary hardware device (Skybound Adapter) from Garmin is required. There are two types of Skybound Adapters available: Skybound G1 USB Adapter, or Skybound G2 USB Adapter For updates loaded via the USB port in the pilot side armrest ofthe Eclipse 500, a USB flash drive offour (4) GB minirnum is required. While one {1) flash drive is sufficient, it is much quickerand more efficient iftwo (2) separate flash drive units are available. Garmin GPSMAP 496 units require an adapter cable and apower supply cable for desktop programming ofthe unit. 3.0 REQUIRED SOFTWARE Jeppesen Services Update Manager (JSUM) is used to update the Navigation Databases. The software is available for download atjeppesen.com/jsum/download. Ifyou are downloading for the first time, please follow the screen prompts and be sure to specify "Add Icon to Desktop."

The internet browser is used to access the Garmin Portable database to update the Garmin GPS496 units for certain aircraft listed in Appendix A. 4.0 GENERAL PROCEDURES
- USB 2.0 FLASH DRIVES 4.1 Formatting Drives It is abest practice to erase, or "format" flash drives before each programming session. This ensures that all previously loaded software is removed. To format aflash drive, plug it into the USB portofthe computer. Usually adialog box will open prompting the user for an action to view the drive in aparticularapplication. You may close this dialog as you will access the drive via the Explorer Start Menu option. Ifthe particular flash drive has NOT been inserted into yourcomputer before, it may take aminute ortwo for the machine to recognize and authorize the drive. If"new hardware" messages are received, wait until the drive is recognized and you are prompted that the drive is ready for use. When the drive is ready, RIGHT click on the START button on the bottom left ofthe Windows screen. Choose "Explore" and on the page that follows, on the left side navigate to the drive name. In most cases itwill be Drive "E" but this may vary by computer. Once you have located the appropriate drive, RIGHT click on it and choose "Format" then choose "Start." You will receive awarning message that all data on the drive will be erased. Click "OK" to continue. NOTE: Flash drives used for navigation database updates MUST be formatted to the properfile system type. The two types are FAT and FAT32.

### 5.0 GENERAL PROCEDURES- GARMIN 400W DATA CARDS 5.1 Programming Data NDP 1-6 NOVEMBER 1, 2012

Garmin 400W units in certain aircraft require navigation database updates on a28-day cycle. The Jeppesen Services Update Managersoftware is used to access the revised service. The log-in process is identical to the procedure outlined in section 4.2 above. Each Garmin 400W unit requires one 16MB proprietary data card. These cards are programmed via the Skybound adapter (version 1or2) referenced in section 2.0 above. The adapter plugs into the computer's USB port. The data cards are then plugged into the appropriate socket in the adapter. The cards must be inserted with the silver label facing up. The cards must be securely seated in the adapterfor proper programming. When plugging the adapter into the computer, it maytake 10-20 seconds for the device to be recognized. When it is recognized, the amber LED on the adapterwill glow steadily. 

### IMPORTANT NOTE: The aircraft that have two Garmin 400W units installed must have both cards forthe aircraft programmed from the same selected line in the JSUM services list. Ifthey are downloaded from two different subscriptions, the Garmin units will not cross-fill flight plans. Ifthis happens, the flight plans must be entered exactly the same on both units. This will need to be done until the next revision is properly downloaded. After selecting the required service from the list ofservices in the JSUM software, click "Start." The userwill receive a prompt to identifythe device to be programmed to. The option "Skybound Adapter" should already be highlighted in the dialog box. Ifnot, choose itfrom the pull-down option, then click "Start" at the bottom ofthe JSUM page. At this point the download should begin. Note that the selected lines will have 2updates available. This is to accommodate the two units that are installed in the airplanes with the 1.7 avionics. Once the revision is downloaded, the Green LED (R/W or Read/Write) on the adapterwill flash rapidly while data is being downloaded to the card. Programming individual cards may take as long as 30 minutes. When the first card is done, remove it from the adapterand insertthe second card and repeat the above process.
