Mr. Peter H. Lee Director, Aviation Career Campus Metro Technology Centers

5600 South MacArthur Blvd. Oklahoma City, OK 731 79

Dear Mr. Lee:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 9846

, as amended . It explains the basis for our de cision, describes its effect s, and provides you

amended conditions and limitations.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter submi tted to the Public Docket posted on February 25, 2015

, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Metro Technology Centers (Metro Technology) for an extension of Exemption No. 9846 , as amended . That exemption from § 65.75(a) of Title 14 Code of Federal Re gulations (14 CFR) allows Metro Technology to
administer the A viation M echanic G eneral (AMG) written test to students immediately following successful completion of the general curriculum, prior to meeting the experience requirements of 14 CFR § 65.77.

In your petition you indicate there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

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

in the Federal Register . T he requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Metro Technology.AFS
