This exemption would not adversely affect safety, FlightSafety International has conducted nearly identical training for Cessna Aircraft company for more than a decade utilizing exemption "4050", a record ofsafety for this activity has already been proven.

1. Pettion for exemption to 91.9 (a) and 91.531(a)(l) & (2) oftitle 14, Code ofFederal Regulations (14 CFR) 2. FlightSafety International's Cessna Learning Center is requesting approval ofan exemption which would allow FlightSafety International's Cessna Learning Centers to conductpilot training for pilots operating Citation models 500, 550, S550, 552 and 560 airplanes without a pilot designated as second in command
