 Exemption No. 10399 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2011-1249 

Mr. Phil Krull 

Managing Director/COO 

Embraer Executive Aircraft, Inc. 

1205 General Aviation Drive 

Melbourne, FL 32935 

Dear Mr. Krull: 

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits 

our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the 

exemption, including the date it ends. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated November 9, 2011, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) on behalf of Embraer Executive Aircraft, Inc. (Embraer) for an exemption from 

§ 47.65 and § 47.69(b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) to the extent 

necessary to allow Embraer to obtain a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate, 

AC form 8050-6, without meeting the U.S. citizenship requirements of Title 49 United 

States Code (U.S.C.) 40102(a)(15) and permit Embraer to conduct limited flights outside of 

the United States under the certificate. 

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the 

petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, 

and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Embraer. 

The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects 

to those presented in your petition. In Grant of Exemption No. 5315 (copy enclosed), the 

FAA found that the issuance of a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate would facilitate 

the petitioner’s operation by eliminating the requirement to obtain a certificate of 
2 

registration for each aircraft and, thus, enable it to test, ferry, demonstrate, and deliver 

aircraft in a more timely manner. It would also benefit the FAA by reducing the number of 

applications for registration processed and certificates issued by the FAA. 

Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that— 

 they do not differ materially from those presented by the petitioner in the enclosed grant 

of exemption; 

 the reasons stated by the FAA for granting the enclosed exemption also apply to the 

situation you present; and 

 a grant of exemption is in the public interest. 

Our Decision 

Under the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA 

Administrator has delegated to me, I hereby grant Embraer Executive Aircraft, Inc., an 

exemption from: 

a. Section 47.65 to the extent necessary to allow Embraer to obtain a Dealer’s 

Aircraft 

Registration Certificate without meeting U.S. citizenship requirements. This 

exemption is effective immediately and remains in effect unless superseded or 

rescinded. Embraer will be issued a Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate upon 

receipt of a completed Application for Dealer’s Aircraft Registration Certificate 

and the required fee. 

b. Section 47.69(b) to the extent necessary to permit the use of the Dealer’s Aircraft 

Registration Certificate to conduct limited flights outside the United States for the 

purpose of demonstrating, testing, selling, and marketing its aircraft, subject to the 

following conditions and limitations. 

Conditions and Limitations 

1. The aircraft must be owned by Embraer; 

2. The aircraft must have a temporary registration number or an assigned 

registration number affixed as provided by 14 CFR part 45; 

3. When the aircraft does not have a standard airworthiness certificate, permission 

of the host country (countries) must be obtained before flights to or through that 

country; and 

4. Embraer shall maintain records of each international flight for a period of 1 year 

after the aircraft returns to the United States, such records consist of: 
3 

a. Registration number and aircraft serial number; 

b. Dates of departure and return to the United States; and 

c. General overseas itinerary. 

This exemption terminates on November 30, 2013, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. 

Sincerely, 

/s/ 

John W. McGraw
