 Exemption No. 10650A 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2011-1360 

Kenneth Scherado, Jr. 

2830 N. Rancho Drive 

Las Vegas, NV 89130 

Dear Mr. Scherado, Jr: 

 

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

10650. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the conditions and 

limitations. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated July 24, 2014, Mr. Kenneth Scherado Jr. (petitioner), agent authorized by 

John D. Parker; the owner of N15YR; a JETWING, Serial Number 003, petitioned the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an exemption from § 91.151(a)(1) of Title 14, 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). 

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 extension of the exemption would not set a 

precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Mr. John D. 

Parker. 

Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 10650 

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 your petition, subject to the following conditions and limitations. 

Please note that there have been changes to the below conditions and limitations.
