U.S. Department ofTransportation Docket Management System, 400 7th Street, SW., Room PL 401 Washington, DC 20591-0001 Subject: Request for Exemption from the provisions ofTitle 14 CFR Section 91.109 (a) and (b) (3) for certain Beechcraft airplanes with throw-over control wheels. Underthe provisions ofTitle14 CFR Subpart B, Sections 11.21-1137, Gerald 

### A. Parker (petitioner), requests an exemption from the provisions ofTitle 14 CFR Section 91.109 (a) and (b) (3) ofthe Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR's) to allow him to conduct flight instruction in Beechcraft Bonanza, Debonair, Baron, and TraveiAir airplanes equipped with a functioning, single, throw-over control wheel. Reason for this petition: 1. FAR 91.109 (a) prohibits flight instruction, except instrument instruction in singleengine airplanes under certain conditions, in aircraft without fully functioning dual flight controls. In addition FAR 91.109 (b) (3) permits simulated instrument flight only in single engine airplanes equipped with a functioning, single, throw-over control wheel. These provisions effectively prohibit all flight instruction in Beechcraft Baron and TraveiAir twin-engine airplanes with single throw-over control wheels, and also prohibit simulated instrument flight in these airplanes. The cockpits of Beechcraft Baron and TraveiAir airplanes are virtually identical in configuration and layout to the Beechcraft Bonanza/Debonair airplanes; 2. FAR 61.56 requires flight instruction to be performed as part ofan flight review. Under current regulations this flight review cannot be performed in airplanes with throw-over control wheels; 3. The provisions of FAR 61.45 (c), have, since 1973, permitted FAA personnel and Designated Pilot Examiners to conduct pilot certification flight tests in aircraft not equipped with dual controls. Underthe requested exemption, the petitioner will operate at a greater level ofsafety than the minimal level permitted by FAR 61.45 (c). Safety Considerations:U.S. Department ofTransportation, June 

### 20, 2010- Page 

### 2 1. The specific level ofcontrol available to a flight instructor in a Beechcraft Bonanza, Debonair, Baron and TraveiAir airplanes equipped with a throw over control wheel is quite good. The control configuration is such that the instructor ALWAYS has full use of rudder control in flight. The instructor's access to all engine controls ofthe aircraft is unaffected by the type of control wheel installed. Full elevator control is continuously available to the instructor in either configuration as the center control column ofthe airplane is easily accessible to the instructor in a throw-over configuration. Manipulation ofthe center control column affords the flight instructorfull elevator control as the elevator control column is located in the center ofthe control panel with unobstructed access. Aileron control is also within easy reach ofthe instructor (although in front ofthe PIC) and is more than sufficient to allow any additional control inputs necessary during flight; 2. The Beechcraft Pilot Proficiency Program (BPPP) has had exemption No. 7571 from 

### 91.109 for manyyears. To the petitioner's knowledge and belief, the BPPP have never experienced an incident or accident related to the conduct oftraining in an airplane with a throw-over control wheel; 3. Therefore, in view ofthe facts presented above and the experience ofthe FAA and other groups to date, it is reasonable to conclude that flight safetywill not be compromised by granting this exemption request. The interests ofthe public are served by this exemption in the following ways: 1. The primary purpose ofthis requested exemption is to encourage pilots of Beechcraft aircraft with throw-over control wheels to seek currency and instrument proficiency training to ensure their proficiency, currency, and overall safety; 2. By allowing pilots to train in their own aircraft rather than renting an aircraft with fully functioning dual controls, such pilots are more likely to seek needed training in both visual and instrument flight; 3. Additional pilot training and proficiency flights made possible by this exemption will result in more proficient pilots; 4. The petitioner believes that it is in the public interest that the availability of recurrent pilot training be maximized, consistent with acceptable safety practices. Maximizing such training should result in safer pilot practices with a corresponding reduction in the likelihood ofaviation accidents. Identifiable costs ofthe exemption to the public and to society: None Regulatory burden ofthe exemption: None.U.S. Department ofTransportation, June 20,2010- Page 3
Effect ofthis exemption on ofthe quality ofthe natural and social environments: None The following operational conditions are proposed for the requested exemption: 1. Operations underthe exemption will be limited to: a. Performing the flight review required by 14 CFR Section 61.56 (a); b. Conducting the training necessary to accomplish one or more phases ofan FAA sponsored pilot proficiency program provided for in section 61.56 (a) ("Wings" program); c. Conducting instrument flight training under simulated and actual conditions to meet the requirements of61.67 (c) (1) and (d) and other requirements; 2. Operations will be limited to Beechcraft Bonanza, Debonair, Baron and TraveiAir airpanes equipped with functioning dual rudder pedals and a functioning, single, throw-over control wheel; 3. Pilots receiving training will possess a private or higher pilot license with the appropriate ratings for the airplane flown, and a current medical certificate, and will be fully qualified to serve as PIC for the entire flight; 4. The petitioner, when acting as an authorized instructor under the provisions ofthis exemption, will be fully qualified to serve as PIC and as flight instructor, as required by FAR 61.67 (c) (1) and (d) and FAR 61.195 (b) and 

### (f). Petitioner's pilot qualifications: 1. Petitioner John H. Hebbelman Jr, holder of pilot license number 1549667, holds a commercial pilot's license with single and multi-engine airplane and instrument ratings, and a flight instructor license for single and multi-engine airplanes and instruments. Petitioner has been an active pilot since 1963 and Flight Instructor since 1967 and has total flying time as a pilot of24,269 hours with over 12,000 as a flight instructor. He currently instructs in Beechcraft airplanes and is experienced in instructing in Beechcraft single control airplanes with a throw-over control wheel under the exemption from FAR 91.109 granted to the BPPP. Currently owns a S-35 N6040F since 1974, A-36 Jetprop N400WWand a F-33A N455D with over 11,927 hrs in Beech aircraft; 2. The granting ofthis petition will allow the petitioner to provide recurrent and instrument training to his pilot clients who own Beechcraft Bonanza, Debonair, Baron, and TraveiAir airplanes with single throw-over controls.
