CITATION SINGLE-PILOT EXEMPTION

1. This petition is the request of Ricks Aviation Inc., (hereinafter referred

to as “Ricks Aviation Inc.”) for an exemption from Sections 9 1.9(a) and 9 1.53 1

(a)( 1) and 2) of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The purpose of this exemption

would be to allow Ricks Aviation Inc. to train, test and certificate pilots to fly

Cessna Citations, covered by the CE-500 Type-rating, as single-pilot operators.

That training, testing and certification would be based upon the following previously issued Exemptions:

 PAN AM International Flight Academy Exemption No.7487 (as amended)

 M. Shannon Associates Exemption No. 6480 (as amended)

 Sierra Industries, Inc. Exemption No. 5517 (as amended)

 Cessna Aircraft Company Exemption No. 4050 (as amended)

 Vue, Inc. Exemption No. 9917 thru 9917A & B (as amended)

2. The aforementioned exemptions permit single-pilot operation of

Cessna Citation Models 500, 550, S550 552 and 560, provided the pilots meet

certain experience, training and qualifications. Ricks Aviation Inc. requests relief from the following regulations:

 Section 91.9(a) provides, in pertinent part, that no person may operate a civil aircraft without compliance with the operating limitations

for that aircraft prescribed by the certificating authority of the country

of registry.

 Section 91.531(a) (l) provides, in pertinent part, that no person may

operate a large airplane (greater than 12,500 pounds, maximum certificated take-off weight), without a pilot who is designated as a secondin-command.

 Section 9 1.53 1 (a)(2) provides, in pertinent part, that no person may

operate a turbojet-powered multiengine airplane, for which two pilots

are required by the airplane’s type certification requirements, without

a pilot who is designated as a second-in-command.

3. The Shannon Exemption, No. 6480, permits operation of certain

Cessna Citation Model 500 aircraft, bearing Serial Nos. 0001 through 0349, to

be operated single-pilot after modification consistent with Shannon’s approved

Supplemental Type Certificate. Ricks Aviation Inc.’s training, testing and certification of those pilots under the Shannon Exemption No. 6480 (as amended)

would be accomplished only after M. Shannon and Associates verification and

approval of those pilots.

4. The Sierra Exemption, No. 5899, permits operation of certain Cessna

Citation Model 500 aircraft, to be operated single-pilot, after modification consistent with Sierra’s approved Supplemental Type Certificates. Ricks Aviation
Inc.’s training, testing and certification of those pilots under the Sierra Exemption No. 5899 (as amended) would be accomplished only after Sierra Industries,

Inc. verification and approval of those pilots.

5. The Cessna Exemption, No. 4050, permits operation of Cessna Citation

Models 550, S550, 552 and 560, provided the pilots meet certain experience,

training and qualifications criteria. Ricks Aviation Inc.’s training, testing and

certification of those pilots would meet or exceed all criteria set forth in Cessna

Exemption No. 4050 (as amended).

6. The Vue Inc. Exemption, No. 9917 thru 9917A & B, permits operation of

additional Cessna Citation Models CE-552, CE-560, Bravo, Ultra, and Encore,

provided the pilots meet certain experience, training and qualifications criteria.

It also includes initial flight checks be conducted by an FAA inspector, a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE), or Training Center Evaluator (TCE) in the Cessna

500 series airplanes as well as an authorized PPE would be able to conduct the

proficiency check associated with the single-pilot authorization renewal in the

CE-500; Columbus Business Jet’s training, testing and certification of those pilots would meet or exceed all criteria set forth in Vue Inc’s Exemption No. 9917

thru 9917A & B (as amended).

7. Ricks Aviation Inc. will meet all FAA training requirements under Part

91-61of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Ricks Aviation Inc. has extensive experience with in-aircraft training of turbojet-aircraft pilots and crewmembers.

Ricks Aviation Inc.’s Single-Pilot Initial and Recurrent Curriculums are included

2.3 Preflight Inspection Training Curriculum

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION TRAINING MODULE

OBJECTIVE: The Preflight Inspection Training Module is a separate

training curriculum module. The preflight inspection

module should teach the trainee to demonstrate

his/her ability to perform the appropriate safety

inspection checks. The trainee will be taught how to

identify and determine when a component is in an

unsafe condition.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Applicable checklist, FAA approved pictorial or an aircraft.

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION

1. External Safety Inspection

2. Interior Safety Inspection

3. Exterior Inspection

2.4 Aircraft Training Curriculum

[10:00 Hours Single]

A. AIRCRAFT (SINGLE SEGMENT FLIGHT TEST)

The trainee is expected to exhibit a high level of systems knowledge,

knowledge of all published profiles, and an in-depth knowledge of Normal,

Abnormal and Emergency procedures.

PREFLIGHT TRAINING: The pilot-in-training will complete an Exterior

Preflight Inspector training module before the Practical Test.

TRAINING CONSIDERATIONS (EMPHASIS)

 Duties and Responsibilities

 Crew Resource Management (CRM)

 Cockpit Flow and setup from memory

 Cockpit Checklist Procedures

 Aircraft Characteristics

The flight training Modules are developed in a syllabus / briefing notes format. They

should be adhered to when progression is normal. If progression is not normal, Ricks

Aviation Inc.'s Chief Instructor/Director of Flight Standards and the pilot-in-training's

instructor will confer on the amount of additional instruction necessary. A pilot-in-training

will not be allowed to progress to the next Training Module until satisfactory completion

of the previous training module. Normal progression begins with simple maneuvers and

becomes increasingly more complex.

PROGRAMMED HOURS

Each module is scheduled for 2.0 hours. An additional 1.0 hour for briefing and 0.5 hour

for debriefing is required.

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION TRAINING MODULE

OBJECTIVE: The Preflight Inspection Training Module is a separate

training curriculum module. The preflight inspection

module should teach the trainee to demonstrate his/her

ability to perform the appropriate safety inspection checks.

The trainee will be taught how to identify and determine

when a component is in an unsafe condition.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Applicable checklist, FAA approved pictorial or an aircraft.

TRAINING CONSIDERATIONS (EMPHASIS)

Duties and Responsibilities

Crew Resource Management (CRM)

Cockpit Flow and setup from memory

Cockpit Checklist Procedures

Aircraft Characteristics

The flight training Modules are developed in a syllabus briefing notes format.

They should be adhered to when progression is normal. If progression is not

normal, Ricks Aviation Inc.'s Director of Business Aircraft and the pilot-intraining’s instructor will confer on the amount of additional instruction necessary.

A pilot-in-training will not be allowed to progress to the next Training Module until

satisfactory completion of the previous Training Module. Normal progression

begins with simple maneuvers and becomes increasingly more complex.

PROGRAMMED HOURS

Each aircraft module is scheduled for 2.0 hours. An additional 1.0 hour for

briefing and 0.5 hour for debriefing is required. Aircraft training hours may be

reduced if pilot-in-training completes all tasks and is recommended for the

Practical Test by the instructor.
