## Petition for Exemption

*Docket No.:*                         FAA-2009-1087.                    

*Petitioner:*                         Terrafugia, Inc.                    

*Section of 14 CFR Affected:*14 CFR part 1 § 1.1.                    

*Description of Relief Sought:*                         Petition for exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations, 14 CFR 1.1, definition of a light-sport aircraft (LSA) to permit an additional weight allowance for a four wheel LSA with folding wings intended for operation on public roadways (                        *i.e.*, roadable aircraft). For their roadable design to meet the applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and still maintain an equivalent useful load to other LSA, the petitioner has requested a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 1474 pounds (670 kg). This petition is significantly different than previous requests for exemption to the LSA weight limitations, as the vehicle design is unique and must simultaneously meet both sets of dissimilar standards for LSA and road vehicles.
