Mr. Bryan Camcaburu 

Vice Presideni-'Director of Operaiioos 

Peninsula Airways, Inc. 

6100 Boeing Avenue 

Anchorage, AK 99502 

Dear Mr. Camcaburu: 

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our 

decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, 

including the date ii ends. 

The Basis for Our Decision 

By letter dated on April 12,2010. you petitioned die Federal Aviation Adminisiration (FAA) 

on behalf of Peninsula Airways, Inc., cLb.a. PenAir for an extension of Exemption No. 7770C. 

That exemption from §§ 91.411(b) and 9L413(c) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) allowed PenAir to perform air traffic control (ATC) transponder tests and 

inspections and altimeter system and altimeter repordng equipments tests and inspections for 

its part 121 aircraft maintained under a continuous airworthiness maintenance program. The 

exemption also permitted PenAir to perform similar tests and inspections on its part 135 

aircraft maintained under an ^proved aircraft inspection program. 

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

in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any 

delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to PenAir. 

Although you requested an exemption of Exemption No. 7770 (copy enclosed), that 

exemption has since expired. Therefore, we are issuing PenAir a new exemption.
