 Exemption No. 8292C 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2004-17283 

Mr. Ronald J. Zasadzinski 

305 W. Magnolia Street, #154 

Fort Collins, CO 80521 

Dear Mr. Zasadzinki: 

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 8292, 

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

and limitations. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated April 7, 2010, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for 

an extension of Exemption No. 8292, as amended. That exemption from § 91.109(a) and (b) 

of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows you to conduct certain flight 

training and to provide simulated instrument flight experience in certain Beech airplanes that 

are equipped with a functioning throwover control wheel. 

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 you. 

Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 8292, 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. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA 
 2

Administrator has delegated to me, I grant your petition, subject to the following conditions 

and limitations. 

Conditions and Limitations 

1. Operations under this exemption are limited to flights for completion of the flight 

review required by § 61.56 and for accomplishing recency of experience as 

required by § 61.57. 

2. Operations under this exemption are limited to Beechcraft airplanes equipped with 

a functioning throwover control wheel and operable rudder pedals, in lieu of 

functioning dual controls. 

3. The pilot manipulating the controls under the terms of this exemption must be 

qualified in every respect to serve as pilot in command (PIC) of the airplane 

during the entire flight. While operating under this exemption, the pilot seated in 

the left seat must at all times serve as and remain PIC as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. 

The PIC must agree to the provisions of this exemption. 

4. While serving as flight instructor under the terms of this exemption, 

Mr. Zasadzinski must: 

a. Notwithstanding Condition No. 5 below, be otherwise fully qualified to serve 

as PIC and flight instructor in the airplane involved, as required by 14 CFR 

 § 61.195 (b) and (f); and 

b. Have given at least 25 hours of dual instruction in the airplane involved. 

5. Mr. Zasadzinski, when serving as the flight instructor under the conditions of this 

exemption, and the PIC must agree that the proposed flight, under the conditions 

in evidence at the time of proposed flight, can be conducted safely. 

The Effect of Our Decision 

Our decision extends the termination date of Exemption No. 8292, as amended, to 

April 30, 2013, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. 
 3

All conditions and limitations of Exemption No. 8292, as amended, remain the same. This 

letter must be attached to, and is a part of, Exemption No. 8292. 

Sincerely, 

/s/ 

John W. McGraw
