Subject : Petition For Extension of Exemption 10,000: Docket No FAA 2010

- 0055

In accordance with the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 11, American Airlines, Inc. petitions for the renewal of Exempti on No. 10,000, Regulatory Docket No. FAA

- 2010

- 0055. Exemption No. 10,000 expires January 3 1

, 20 14

.

Exemption No. 10,000 was originally issued to American Airlines on January 28, 2010 when previous Exemptions No. 8660 and 9570A were combined into one. Exemption 10,000 provides relief from 14 CFR 121.619 by allowing American Airlines to dispatch aircraft to domestic airports without designating an alternate for the destination airport

where for at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after the estimated time o f arrival at the destination airport the appropriate weather reports or forecasts, or any combination of them, indicate the ceiling will be at least 1,000 feet above the airport elevation and visibility will be at least 3 statute miles for airports utilizi ng Category (CAT ) I authorizations or the visibility will be at least 2 statute miles for airports utilizing CAT II

or CAT III authorizations.

American Airlines seeks to renew Exemption No. 10,000, including the existing Conditions and Limitations, with no modifications. Justification for an extension of Exemption No. 10,000 is the same as for: the original Petition for Exemption No. 8660; dated October 20, 2005; original Petition for Exemption No. 9570 dated June 8, 2006, and amended Petition for Exempt ion No. 9570A dated February 7, 2008.

American Airlines finds that the conditions and c ircumstances with regard to public

interest and the effect on public safety , which warranted the original grant of exemption,

continue to exist.

In accordance with the provisions of 14 CFR 11.27 (j)(3)(i), Exceptions of Publication of Summary of Petition for Exemption, American Airlines requests that a finding of good2 cause be made for waiving publication in the Federal Register. Since similar extensions have been granted to other Part 121 Air Carriers, no precedents will be set by granting the requested relief. Therefore, American requests that the publication and comment

p eriod be waived.

A summary of this petition is attached as required by 14 CFR 11.25. Your consideration and approval of this request is appreciated. Please advise if you require additional information in order to evaluate or act on this petition.
