Dear Mr. Horgan :

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 it ends.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated September 14, 2016

, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration

(FAA) on behalf of the Center for Emergency Medicine of Western Pennsylvania, Inc., d/b/a

STAT MedEvac (STAT) for an exemption from § § 91.411(b) and 91.413(c) of Title 14, Code

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) . That e xemption, if granted, would allow STAT to perform

air traffic control (ATC) transponder tests and inspections and alt imeter systems and altimeter

reporting equipment tests and inspections for its part 135 aircraft maintained under an

approved aircraft inspect ion program (AAIP).

Although you requested an extension of Exempti on No. 9775 , as amended (copy enclosed),

that e xemption expired on October 31, 2016 . Therefore, we are issuing STAT a new

exemption.2

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 or iginal exemption.

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

in the Federal Register beca use the requested extension of the exemption would not set a

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

Our Decision

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

under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. §§ 106 (f)

, 40113

, and 44701, which the FAA

Administrator has delegat ed to me, I grant Center for Emergency Medicine of Western

Pennsylvania, Inc. , d/b/a STAT MedEvac an exemption extension to perform Air Traffic

Control (ATC) transponder tests and inspections and altimeter systems and altimeter reporting

equipment tests and inspections for its part 135 aircraft maintained under an approved aircraft

inspection program (AAIP)

, s ubject to the following conditions and limitations.

and inspections must be conducted under STAT’s part 135 AAIP.
