APPLICATI ON OF AERODYNAMICS INCORPORATED

FOR WAIVER OF SECTION 204.7 DORMANCY PROVISION

Pursuant to section 204.7(a) of the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR § 204.7(a),

the certificate authority of a carrier that for a period of one year has not provided air

transportation for which a fitness finding is required is automatically deemed dormant,

and i s subject to revocation. Aerodynamics Incorporated (ADI) hereby requests a waiver

to the extent necessary for the Department to re

- determine ADI’s fitness and reinstate its

certificate authority, which at present is dormant under the regulation cited abov e. In

support of this app lication, ADI states as follows.

ADI’s certificates of public convenience and necessity for interstate and foreign

charter air transportation of persons, property and mail were issued by O rder 2003

- 9

- 29.

ADI operated a large air craft under this authority until late 2010, and continued operating

small aircraft (as defined in the Department’s regulations) under its certificate authority

until October 15, 2012, when ADI temporarily c eased air t ransportation operations.In late July 2013, ADI resumed air transportation operations with 50

- passenger

small aircraft pursuant to reissued FAA authority and an approved DOT Part 298 air taxi

regi stration. On August 30, 2013, several weeks prior to expiration of the on e year period

described above, ADI submitted a substantial quantity of continuing fitness information

to the Department’s A ir C arrier F itness D ivision. Th e u pdate process was completed

(subject to any DOT request for additional information) wit h submission to the Fitness

Division of additional an d further

- updated information on February 28, 2014.

In view of these circumstances, it would serve no purpose for the Department to

decline to waive the dormancy provision or to revoke ADI ’ s certificates . Such action

would fo rce ADI to apply for entirely new certificate authority . Requiring such an

application would be contrary to the public interest since (i ) ADI is an operating air

carrier , (ii ) it would waste the Department’s and ADI’s valuable resources to req uire the

carrier to repeat a process previously completed, and ( ii i ) such action would delay the

availability of ADI’s pro

- competitive certificated service

, to the public detriment.

Favorable action on this request would be additionally in the public inter est in that

it would help enable ADI to inaugurate its proposed new service in a timely fashion. That

service is described in Exhibit B to ADI’s N otice of I ntent to Resume C ertificated A ir Carrier

O perations in this docket. D aily service inv olv ing a route not currently served , as ADI

proposes, is very much in the public interest.

Wherefore, ADI requests that a waiver of the dormancy provision of 14 CFR §

204.7 be issued.

Respectfully submitted,
