It transmits ourdecision, explains its basis, and gives youthe conditions and limit ations of the exemption, including the date it ends. The Basis for Our Decision By date posted December 17, 2012, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administrati on(FAA) onbehalf of Miami Air International (Miami Air) for anextension of Exem ption No. 9757. That exemption from§ 121.434(c) (1) (ii) of Title 14, Code of Fede ral Regulations allowed Miami Air tosubstitute

a qualified and authorized check

a irman oraircrew program designee for anFAA inspector toobserve

a qualifying
pi l otin command (PIC) who is completing initial or upgrade training specified in §1 21.424 during atleast one flight leg that includes

atakeoff and
a landing. That exemption

,however, expired on August 31, 2012; therefore,
wewill treat your req uest
asanew petition. The FAA has determined that good causeexists for not publishing

a summaryof the petition in the Federal Register because the requested

exem ption would notseta p recedent

,and any delay in acting onthis petition would be det rime ntal toMiami A ir. The FAA has issued

a grantof exemption in circumstances **s~milar**in all material

r espectstothose presented in your petition.
In Grant

of Exemption No. 8054 (copy enclosed)

,the FAA found that subject tocertain conditions and limitations, the requirement for anFAA inspector toobserve

a qualifying PIC before he/she begins operations in an airplane unsupervi sed maybe conducted by and satisfied by the
ce rtificate holder's check airman oraircrew program designee. The FAA found that

t his could be accomplished without reducing the level of safety provided by the reg ulation. Having reviewed yourreasonsfor requesting an exemption,

Ifi nd th at- * they aresimilar in all material respectstorelief prev

i ou sly requested in the enclosed Grant of Exemption No. 8054; * the reasonsstated by the FAA for granti ngthe enclosed Gran
