Dear Ms. Garcia:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 

10560, as amended. It explains the basis for our decision and describes its effect.

The Basis for Our Decision

By your letter, dated January 27, 2016, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) on behalf of Air Evac EMS, Inc. (Air Evac Lifeteam) for an extension of Exemption

No. 10560, as amended. That exemption, from §§ 91.411(b) and 91.413(c ) of Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), allows Air Evac Lifeteam to perform Air Traffic Control 

(ATC) transponder tests and inspections and altimeter system, and altimeter reporting 

equipment tests, and inspections for its part 135 aircraft maintained under a Continuous 

Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP). The exemption also allows Air Evac Lifeteam 

to perform similar tests and inspections on its part 135 aircraft maintained under an Approved 

Aircraft Inspection Program (AAIP).

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

in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent and any 

delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Air Evac Lifeteam.
Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 10560, as 

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

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

FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I grant Air Evac EMS, Inc. (Air Evac Lifeteam) an 

exemption from 14 CFR §§ 91.411(b) and 91.413(c) to perform Air Traffic Control (ATC) 

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

tests, and inspections for its part 135 aircraft maintained under a Continuous Airworthiness 

Maintenance Program (CAMP). The exemption also allows Air Evac Lifeteam to perform 

similar tests and inspections on its part 135 aircraft maintained under an Approved Aircraft 

Inspection Program (AAIP).

Conditions and Limitations

This exemption extension is subject to the following conditions and limitations:

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

tests and inspections, must be conducted under Air Evac Lifeteam’s part 135 

CAMP or part 135 AAIP.

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 Air Evac 

Lifeteam’s maintenance recording system for part 135.

The Effect of Our Decision

Our decision extends the termination date of Exemption No. 10560, as amended, to June 30, 

2018, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. 

Sincerely,

/s/

John S. Duncan
