I am requesting a continuation of exemption No. 9776 that expires on 10/31/2010. 

In accordance with the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal regulations (CFR), Subchapter B, Sections 

11.61 (b), Carolyn Curies petitions as exemptions to Title 14, CFR Sections 91.109 (a) and (b) (3) to allow 

certain flight instruction, as specified below, to be given to a pilot-in-command (PIC) qualified pilot in a 

Beechcraft Bonanza airplane equipped with a single functioning throw-over yoke in place of dual 

controls for the elevator and ailerons,. The exemption is requested with the following conditions and 

limitations: 

1. Operations under this exemption are limited to training flights for the following purposes: 

A. To complete the flight review required by section 61.56 (a) 

B. the conduct the training necessary to accomplish one or more phases of an FAA Proficiency 

Award (WINGS) Program provided for in 61.56 

C. To accomplish the recency of instrument experience requirements of section 61.57 © (1) and 

(d). 

2. Operations under this exemption are limited to Beechcraft Bonanza airplanes equipped with a 

functioning throw over control wheel and operable rudder pedals in lieu of functioning dual 

controls. 

3. The pilot receiving the instruction under the authority of this exemption must be qualified in 

every respect to serve as PIC of the airplane during the entire training period. During the 

instruction the pilot receiving the training must at all times serve and remain as PIC as defined in 

14 CFR 1.1. The PIC must agree to the provisions of this exemption. 

4. The authorized instructor providing the training under the authority of this exemption must; 

A. be fully qualified to serve as PIC and authorized instructor in the airplane involved as required 

by section 61.195 (b) and 

b. IHiave given or received at least 25 hours of dual instruction in the type of airplane involved. 

5. Both the instructor and the PIC receiving the training continuously agree that the proposed 

training, under the conditions in evidence at the time, can be conducted safely. 
Carolyn Curies' principal base of operation is located at hangar B10, Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW), Gig 

Harbor, WA. Mrs. Curies is the holder of flight instructor certificate number 2703244CFI. She has never 

had an accident or any violations and has excess of 2100 flight hours with over 300 of those in a Beech 

Bonanza. Mrs. Curies has provided in excess of 1,000 hours of dual instruction. 

The primary purpose of this exemption is in the public interest and safety by encouraging pilots of throw 

over control equipped Bonanzas airplanes to seek currency and / or continuation training, especially in 

their own aircraft, thus ensuring their currency and overall safety. 

The cost to rent and install dual controls for the limited purpose of currency training is significant 

enough that it is a deterrent to pilots who would want to otherwise participate in this training. Many 

insurance companies, realizing the importance of training in the aircraft offer owner pilots discounts to 

train in their own airplanes. Approval of this exemption will encourage pilots to take recurrent training 

in their own aircraft and make them safer.
