 Exemption No. 9902B 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2008-1128 

Mr. Doug Jeanes 

Executive Director 

Cavanaugh Flight Museum 

Addison Airport 

4572 Claire Chennault 

Addison, TX 75001 

Dear Mr. Jeanes: 

This letter is to inform you that we have partially granted your petition to amend Exemption 

No. 9902, as amended. It explains the basis for our decision and describes its effect. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated January 4, 2011, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 

behalf of Cavanaugh Flight Museum (CFM) for an amendment to Exemption No. 9902, as 

amended. That exemption from §§ 91.315, 91.319(a)(2), 119.5(g), and 119.21(a) of Title 14, 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows CFM to operate certain aircraft for the purpose 

of carrying passengers for compensation or hire on local flights for educational and historical 

purposes. The amendment you request would remove conditions 22 and 23 pertaining to 

aerobatic flight and manipulation of the flight controls by passengers. It would also correct a 

registration number that is listed incorrectly in the current exemption. 

On March 23, 2011, the FAA issued a moratorium on the issuance of new Living History 

Flight Experience (LHFE) exemptions. A copy of the federal register notice is enclosed for 

your information. 

This moratorium provides the FAA a needed opportunity to reevaluate the LHFE policy and 

the conditions of issuance of these exemptions. The evolution of LHFE operations in the 

private sector, along with availability of newer and more capable former military aircraft, has 

raised public safety and public policy concerns that the FAA needs to assess. 
 2

Current LHFE exemption holders can continue to operate under their current exemption. If 

the exemption is due to expire during the moratorium, the FAA will accept and process 

petitions to extend current exemptions in accordance with the established regulatory 

exemption processes. If a change is required (i.e., removal of an aircraft) the FAA will accept 

these changes in accordance with the regulatory processes. Additionally, during the 

moratorium, as petitioners request extensions to their LHFE exemption, the FAA will add the 

following clarifying limitations to all LHFE exemptions to ensure consistent application of 

current LHFE policy: 

1. Passengers are prohibited from manipulating the aircraft flight controls when the 

aircraft is operated under the LHFE exemption; and 

2. No aerobatics may be performed in the aircraft while operating under the LHFE 

exemption. 

Finally, the FAA will begin its evaluation of the current LHFE exemption policies and 

practices, to include evaluation of safety to the paying members of the public who have an 

expectation of aircraft safety and who may not understand the inherent risks associated with 

such flight. The FAA expects to publish a new proposed LHFE policy for comment on or 

before September 30, 2012. 

No new LHFE exemptions will be issued during this moratorium nor will any aircraft be 

added to existing exemptions. Holders of current exemptions will be permitted to extend their 

current exemptions. 

The FAA will amend the aircraft registration number as listed in Exemption No. 9902A for 

your T28 airplane (N52424), but will not remove conditions 22 and 23 pertaining to aerobatic 

flight and manipulation of flight controls by passengers. Your exemption remains valid as 

amended, subject to the conditions and limitations listed below.

airworthiness certificate, experimental airworthiness certificate compared to a 

standard airworthiness certificate must include at least the following information: 

a. The FAA has not established nor has it approved limited category 

airworthiness certificated airplane manufacturing standards. The FAA has not

experimental category. Those operators utilizing airplanes certificated in the 

limited category are not bound by the restriction regarding the avoidance of 

densely populated areas or congested airways; 

f. For passenger-carrying flights greater than 25 statute miles from the departure 

airport and up to 50 statute miles, the PIC must obtain weather reports and 

forecasts prior to flight and valid for the duration of the proposed operation 

that indicate that the weather would be no less than 5 statute miles visibility 

and cloud ceilings no less than 2,000 feet AGL. Passenger-carrying operations 

shall be terminated if ceiling and visibility become less than the minimum 

required by these conditions and limitations. Weather forecasts listing 

discriminators such as probability (PROB), becoming (BECOMG), or 

temporarily (TEMPO) shall be limiting; and
