Exemption No.I 0886

BOO Independence Ave . S W Washington. DC 20591 Regulatory Docket No. F AA-20 I3-0808 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 September I0, 2013, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalfofMIAT College of Technology (MIAT), for an exemption from§ 65.75(a) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (I4 CFR). This exemption, if granted, would allow MIAT to administer the aviation mechanic general (AMG) written test to students immediately following their successful completion ofthe general curriculum but before they meet the experience requirements of§ 65.77.

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 MIAT, and would not serve inthe public's interest. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar inall material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grant ofExemption Nos. 6569 and 8629 (copies enclosed), the FAA found that testing immediately after learning wasa universally accepted instructional principle that reinforces learning. Therefore, we allow the petitioner to test AFS-13-540-E2 students immediately after successfully completing the general curriculum but before meeting the requirements of§ 65.77. 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 Nos. 6569 and 8629; • the reasons stated by the FAA for granting the enclosed Grant of Exemption Nos. 6569 and 8629 also apply tothe situation you present; and •a grant of exemption isinthe public interest. __**Ql1r~D.ecisio_p** ___ ______ ----- --**---~-** .....,---_---
