Subject: RE: Southern Air Petition for Exemption Docket FAA-2004-19718 

Dear Ms. Pippen:

Thank you for your February 13 email and today’s telephone conversation.  This will confirm that Southern Air wants to

exercise the privileges of this exemption outside the United States.  The reason is that the bulk of Southern’s operations

are conducted internationally.  In order for the exemption to have reasonable utility for Southern, applicability outside

the United States is essential.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Sincerely,

Aaron A. Goerlich

Mr. Goerlich and Mr. Maddux,

In accordance with Title 14 CFR § 11.81(h), if Southern Air wants to exercise the privileges of an exemption, if granted,

outside the United States, “the reason why you need to do so” must be included in the petition for exemption.

Otherwise, in accordance with § 11.83, the FAA will limit the exemption, if granted, to use within the United States.

  

The Southern Air petition for exemption from Title 14 CFR § 121.434(c)(1)(ii), dated December 2, 2016, did not

specifically request use of the petition outside of the United States. However, the FAA is aware that Southern Air

conducts international operations. Therefore, the FAA requests clarification on whether Southern Air wants to exercise

the privileges of this exemption, if granted, outside the United States.

  

You may respond directly to this email or submit clarification directly to the docket ID FAA‐2004‐19718 . This email and

your response will be added to the docket. If Southern Air wants to exercise the privileges of this exemption, if granted,

outside the United States, please also include the information required by § 11.81(h).

  

Thank you,

Sheri Pippin
