Electric A venue Spokane, WA 99224 Dear Mr. Lynn: Exemption No. 11276 Regulatory Docket No. FAA 2015-0543 This letter isto inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations ofthe exemption, including the date it ends. The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated February 20,2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Aero-Flite, Inc. (Aero-Flite) foran exemption from§§ 91.313(a) and (b)of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) tothe extent necessary to allow Aero-Flite to conduct operations needed to satisfy crewmember training, type rating requirements, and proficiency requirements found in part 61inthe Bombardier CL-41 5and the Bae Avro RJ85 series restricted category aircraft. Section 91.313( a) limits operation ofa restricted category aircraft to:(1)the special purpose operation for which itis certificated; and (2)an operation necessary to accomplish the work

activity directly associated with that special purpose. AFS-15-811-E, 2 Section 91.313(b) allows an operator to consider flight crewmember training ina special purpose operation for which the aircraft is certificated tobean operation for that special purpose under paragraph (a). Although petitioner has requested relief from§ 91.313(b), such relief isnot necessary because relief from paragraph (a) permits Aero-Flite touse its restricted category aircraft to conduct flight training and testing necessary to provide type ratings toits flight crewmembers.Further, and although not specifically requested, the FAA believes that relief from § 91.313( c)

will be necessary in order for the petitioner to conduct operations described inits request. Therefore, the FAA is construing the petition asa request for relief from § 91.313( c). The FAA contacted Aero-Flite on February 26, 2015 to clarify the aircraft that Aero-Flite would operate under the requested relief. Aero-Flite responded via e-mail on February, 27 2015 and provided the registration numbers, serial numbers, and model designations ofthe aircraft tobe used under the exemption. A record of conversation that captures this information was placed inthe docket. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary ofthe petition

inthe Federal Register because the requested exemption would not seta precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Aero-Flite.

The FAA has issued a grant of exemption in circumstances similar inall material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grant of Exemption No. 11245 (copy enclosed), the FAA found that an exemption was appropriate to allow Neptune Aviation Services to conduct practical tests, proficiency training, and associated flights in restricted category aircraft.

Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, Ifind that: • They are similar inall material respects to relief previously requested inthe enclosed Grant of Exemption No. 11245; • The reasons stated bythe FAA for granting the enclosed Grant of Exemption No.I1245 also apply tothe situation you present; and • For the reasons stated in Grant of Exemption No. 11245 a grant of exemption isinthe public interest. Our DecisionTherefore, pursuant tothe authority contained in49 U.S.C. §§ 106(f), 40113, and 44701 delegated tomebythe Administrator, Aero-Flite, Inc.is granted an exemption from 14 CFR §§. 91.313(a) and (c)tothe extent necessary to allow Aero-Flite, Inc. to conduct operations in restricted category civil CL-415 and RJ85 series aircraft, subject tothe conditions and limitations listed below.8.
