The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated November 4, 2016, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

on behalf of Experimental Aircraft Association Inc. ( EAA ) for an extension of Exemption

- shi f t

- control aircraft rating without holding the applicable category and class rating on at least a private pilot certificate.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the condit ions 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
