AMERIFLIGHT, LLC

1515 W 20 th Street DFW Airport, TX 75261 ( 954) 701 7807 while not necessary to fly the aircraft safely, does help ensure that the aircraft is flown in the safest manner possible.

It is in the public interest for Second in Command pilots to familiarize themselves with the type of flying Ameriflight LLC performs and to operate in this type of crew

environment prior to accept ing other positions

.

(e) The reasons why granting the exemption would not adversely affect safety, or how the exemption would provide a level of safety at least equal to that provided by the rule from which you seek the exemption;

There is no change to t he safety aspects since last renewal. As mentioned in (d) above, this program will not adversely impact safety. Instead

, this program helps mature young pilots while providing a second person, trained on that aircraft, on the flight deck which can only e nhance safety.

(f) A summary we can publish in the Federal Register, stating:

(1) The rule from which you seek the exemption;

14 CFR Parts 61.51(f )( 2)

(2) A brief description of the nature of the exemption you seek;

To allow Ameriflight , LLC to assi gn a second in command (SIC) during a flight that otherwise does not require an SIC and to also allow the SIC to log that flight time. This is a renewal of Ameriflight, LLC exemption 9770

.

(g) Any additional information, views or arguments availa ble to support your request;

No additional support since last renewal.

(h) If you want to exercise the privileges of your exemption outside the United States, the reason why you need to do so.

This exemption would continue to allow Ameriflight Second in Comm and pilots to act as crewmembers and log time. The experience these pilots obtain through flying in the

international environment helps these young pilots understand the additional requirements , issues and challenges associated with flying under various r ules in foreign countries. The same rationale for allowing this exemption within the United States applies for outside the United States.
