Hello,

I have been doing extensive research about the claim in the petition that the 

FAA has granted similar exemptions.
To date I have not found any other grants for this paragraph, so I am 

concerned about why it has been requested in the first place. Could you let 

me know who is a good contact to call within AEI to get some background and 

ask a few questions?

Thank you,

John Shelden

Dear Mr. Shelden,

I am hoping you can give me a brief status report on our request, Docket FAA 

2008-0114. We are nearing completion of the prototype aircraft and finishing 

conformity and, therefore, are hoping to include the exemption in the 

conformity tasks. Please advise when we might expect a decision so we can 

plan accordingly.

Best Regards,

David M. McDonald

Dear Alan,

I am sorry to bother you with this but do not know who better to ask. I filed 

a follow up request for exemption based upon our current exemption number 

9722 through the www.regulations.gov site. A copy is attached. I am a bit 

concerned I have received no acknowledgment of this request and am hoping you 

could confirm it was received by the FAA and is being processed or at least 

could let me know who I should contact to inquire about the status.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best Regards,

David M. McDonald
