 Exemption No. 10107B

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2002-11752

Mr. Matthew Macri

Director of Operations

Peninsula Airways, Inc.

6100 Boeing Avenue

Anchorage, AK 99502

Dear Mr. Macri:

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

No. 10107, as amended. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the 

conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter, dated January 14, 2014, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

on behalf of Peninsula Airways, Inc. (PenAir), for an extension of Exemption No. 10107. 

That exemption, from §§91.411(b) and 91.413(c) of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR), allows PenAir to perform air traffic control (ATC) transponder tests and 

inspections, altimeter system, and altimeter reporting equipment tests and inspections for its 

Part 121 aircraft, maintained under a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program

(CAMP). The exemption also permits PenAir to perform similar tests and inspections on its 

Part 135 aircraft, maintained under an approved aircraft inspection program.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions or reasons 

relative to public interest and safety, which 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 PenAir.

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 10107, as 

amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. 

Therefore, under the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. §§ 106(f), 40113 and 44701, which the 

FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I hereby grant Peninsula Airways an exemption 

from 14 CFR §§91.411(b) and 91.413(c), to the extent necessary to allow PenAir to perform

ATC transponder tests and inspections, altimeter system and altimeter reporting equipment 

tests and inspections for its Part 121 aircraft maintained under a CAMP. The exemption also 

permits PenAir to perform similar tests and inspections on its Part 135 aircraft maintained 

under an approved aircraft inspection program, subject to the conditions and limitations

described below.

Conditions and Limitations 

1. All ATC transponder tests and inspections, and all altimeter reporting 

equipment tests and inspections, must be conducted under PenAir’s Part 121 

CAMP.

2. All tests and inspections must be recorded in the aircraft’s maintenance log by 

the person performing each inspection and test. This entry must identify the 

person, the date, and this exemption number.

3. An appropriate record of these tests and inspections also must be kept in 

PenAir’s maintenance recording system for Part 121 and Part 135 aircraft.

The Effect of Our Decision

This exemption terminates on July 31, 2016, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely,

/s/

John S. Duncan

Director, Flight Standards Service
