 Exemption No. 10669A 

 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2012-1101 

Captain Rodney C. Ennis 

Director of Safety, Security and Regulatory Compliance 

Air Transport International, Inc. 

145 Hunter Drive 

Wilmington, OH 45177 

Dear Captain Ennis: 

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

10669. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the conditions and 

limitations. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated August 29, 2014, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

on behalf of Air Transport International, Inc. (ATI) for an extension of Exemption No. 10669. 

That exemption from § 91.203 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows ATI 

temporary operation of U.S.-registered aircraft in domestic airline operations without the 

registration and/or airworthiness certificates on board, following incidental loss or mutilation 

of the certificate of airworthiness or registration or both. 

In your petition, you indicate that 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 because the requested extension of the exemption would not set a 

precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to ATI. 

Our Decision 

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 10669, 

remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the 
 2

authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has 

delegated to me, I grant the petition of Air Transport International, Inc., subject to the 

following conditions and limitations. 

Conditions and Limitations 

1. ATI must: (1) develop a comprehensive program that provides for continued 

operation of the aircraft when the certificate of registration or airworthiness for such 

aircraft is lost, stolen, or mutilated; (2) ensure that timely application is made to the 

FAA for a replacement certificate; and (3) provide for the temporary operation of the 

aircraft during the interim required to receive a replacement certificate from the FAA 

and install it on the affected aircraft. This program must be FAA-approved and 

instructions for its use shall be included in the air carrier’s manual required by 14 CFR 

§§ 121.133 and 135.21. 

2. The comprehensive program specified in paragraph 1 must contain: 

a. A requirement that the following statement be entered into the appropriate 

section of the aircraft logbook whenever this exemption is to be utilized: 

“This aircraft is being operated without a certificate of registration (or 

airworthiness, as applicable) under the provisions of Exemption No. 

(INSERT EXEMPTION NO.) for a period of 3 working days, not 

including weekends or Federal Holidays, beginning: 

Time:_____ Date:________ 200__” 

The signature, title, and station location of the person(s) authorized by 

paragraph (b) shall be affixed to this statement. 

b. Identification of the designated person or persons, including job titles and 

responsibilities with the air carrier’s maintenance organization authorized to 

enter the statement outlined in paragraph 2a above and the method or methods 

wherein the documents required under paragraph 4 will be transmitted to the 

affected aircraft. 

c. An arrangement whereby those persons within the ATI organization 

responsible for certificates of registration and airworthiness will maintain a 

current record of the data from the certificates of each aircraft within its fleet 

which may be affected by this exemption. These data must be made readily 

available to that element within the air carrier’s maintenance organization 

identified in paragraph 2b and must be kept current at all times. 

d. Procedures to ensure that the FAA principal maintenance inspector with 

responsibility for that air carrier is immediately notified of a missing or 

mutilated certificate and that timely application is made to the FAA for a 

replacement certificate (in the case of an airworthiness certificate) or a 

duplicate certificate (in the case of a registration certificate). 
 3

3. The privileges of this exemption may be exercised by ATI’s temporary replacement of 

a missing or mutilated registration and/or airworthiness certificate which is current 

and in effect and only applies to U.S.-registered aircraft listed in the air carrier’s FAAapproved operations specifications. 

4. A copy of this exemption and a copy of the operations specifications authorizing its 

use must be carried on board the aircraft when exercising the privileges of this 

exemption. 

5. The privileges of this exemption may only be exercised when the affected flight 

operates totally within the 48 contiguous states of the United States, including the 

District of Columbia. 

Effect of Our Decision 

This exemption terminates on November 30, 2016, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. 

Sincerely, 

/s/ 

John Barbagallo 

Acting Deputy Director, Flight Standards Service
