SUBJECT: PETITION FOR GRANT OF EXEMPTION

Pursuant to Section 11.25 of the Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR), Neptune Aviation Services, Inc. 

hereby petitions the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for Exemption from 14CFR §91.313(a)

Restricted category civil aircraft: Operating limitations, to the extent necessary to permit Neptune to 

conduct aircrew proficiency training, practical tests, or other flights necessary for a pilot to obtain a type 

rating designation or receive a pilot-in-command proficiency check; along with initial and/or recurrent 

observations for Pilot Proficiency Examiner (PPE) , Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE), and instructor 

training in the Lockheed L-P2V.

NATURE AND EXTENT OF RELIEF

14CFR § 91.313(a) – Neptune Aviation requests exemption from this regulation and for authorization to 

conduct proficiency training, practical tests, or other flights necessary for a pilot to obtain a type rating 

designation in the L-P2V. These requirements are set forth in 14CFR § 61.55, 61.57 and 61.58. The 

Lockheed L-P2V requires two pilots, one of which must be type rated as listed in Advisory Circular 61-

89E (See Attachment 1, Appendix 2, Page 5) and FAA issued Restricted Aircraft Operating Limitations 

(See example in Attachment 2, Paragraph 10). Neptune Aviation operates seven L-P2Vs; the extent of 

relief is requested for all of those aircraft. There are no civilian Standard Transport Category designated 

L-P2Vs in which to conduct the required training. 

PUBLIC INTEREST

As a contractor to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) providing Large Air Tankers (LAT) for wildfire 

suppression, Neptune Aviation operates a fleet of BAe-146-200A and P2V-5/-7 LAT aircraft. Neptune 

has been, and continues to be, the single largest provider of LAT aircraft to the USFS. In spite of recent 

gains in the total number of LAT aircraft provided to the USFS by all private contractors nationwide, each 

LAT is considered a national resource in the wildfire suppression effort and are a high demand resource 

for fire incident commanders. 

The most prevalent use of LAT aircraft is in the form of Initial Attack (IA), where our crews are fully 

qualified to respond to and assess a new fire before any other resources are available, determine the 

most effective application of retardant, and to proceed to drop as needed. Through the IA process, 

many fires are contained to small areas and ground crews are able to quickly extinguish them.

Additional high priority tanker missions include protecting lives, homes and other property, utilities, 

archeological sites, and highly critical national and state resources. 

 

EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY

Neptune Aviation operates their aircraft under 14CFR parts 91 and 137. Although 14CFR § 61.58(b)

states that this section does not apply to operations conducted under part 137, the requirements of the 

Advisory Circular 61-89E and the Operations do not provide such relief. Current FAA guidance of 

91.313(a) prohibits Neptune from conducting initial and regular recurrent training to provide for higher 

level of safety in the L-P2V. Neptune has trained/checked for type ratings and 61.58s (pilot-in-command 

proficiency check) using the FAA Airline Transport Pilot Practical Test Standards; we wish to continue 

that practice. 

SUMMARY

As required by FAR Section 11.25, a summary of the petition is as follows:

Neptune Aviation Services, Inc. requests an exemption from FAR Section 91.313(a), to conduct aircrew 

proficiency training, practical tests, or other flights necessary for a pilot obtain a type rating designation 

or a pilot-in-command proficiency check; along with initial and/or recurrent observations for Pilot 

Proficiency Examiner (PPE) , Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE), and instructor training in the Lockheed LP2V.

Subject: PILOT CERTIFICATES: AC No: 61-89E

AIRCRAFT TYPE RATINGS

Date:

Initiated by: AFS-840/AFS-630

Advisory

Circular

1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular (AC)

provides a generic type rating curriculum that

may serve as a basis for schools to develop a

training program outline (TPO) to meet the

type rating training requirements of Title 14 of

the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts

61, 141, and 142. This AC also provides pilot

certificate designations adopted by the Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) for aircraft type

ratings and standardizes aircraft designations

placed on pilot certificates to show type rating

qualifications.

2. CANCELLATION. AC 61-89D, Pilot

Certificates: Aircraft Type Ratings, dated

February 21, 1991, is canceled.

3. BACKGROUND. Training centers, pilot

schools, pilot examiners, and the general

aviation public have a continuing need for a

type rating reference such as that provided by

this circular. This AC provides a guideline for

schools and agencies that offer type rating

training. Programs operating under 14 CFR

parts 121, 135, 141, and 142 that offer only

type rating training are required to submit

training programs.

4. INTRODUCTION.

a. The content of this curriculum

(appendix 1) is based on the maneuvers and

procedures of section 61.157(e)(1)(2) and on

FAA-S-8081-5, Airline Transport Pilot and

Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test Standards

(PTS) for Airplane. The format of this

curriculum is based on FAA Order 8400.10,

Air Transportation Operations Inspector’s

Change:

Handbook, which provides detailed information

on training programs for part 121 and part 135

operators. This order is available from the

Superintendent of Documents, P.O. Box 371954,

Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954. If used, this generic

curriculum should be adapted to include specific

data and characteristics of the aircraft for which

the type rating is being issued.

b. Additional training requirements:

A pilot who has an AMEL certificate limited to

center thrust or an ASEL certificate to receive

a type rating in a multiengine aircraft must

complete multiengine land training as part of

the type rating course. Most airplanes that

require type ratings have more than 200

horsepower (or the equivalent thrust),

pressurization, and service ceilings and/or

maximum operating altitudes above 25,000

feet mean sea level. Pilots would therefore be

required to receive both a high-performance

endorsement and a high-altitude endorsement

in their logbook or training record before acting

as pilot in command of those airplanes. If they

do not have the endorsements when they begin

training for the type rating, the training for

those endorsements may be included in the

type rating curriculum if the airplane for which

the type rating is required fits the appropriate

description. However, separate logbook or

training record endorsements must be issued

for the type rating, high-performance, and/or

high-altitude training, as appropriate. If highperformance and high-altitude training is

conducted in conjunction with type rating

training, the high-performance and highaltitude training should include specific

operational aspects of the airplane. For example,

8/4/00
AC 61-89E

2 Par

8/4/00

4

the high-altitude training recommended in AC

61-107, High-Altitude Operations, should

include the airplane’s particular systems and

procedures for operating at high altitudes

(such as the pressurization system and the

specific decompression and emergency

descent procedures described in the Airplane

Flight Manual (AFM) or Pilot's Operating

Handbook (POH)).

c. Although the requirements of

section 61.63(d)(6)(i) apply to additional

aircraft ratings, the generic curriculum in this

AC may be used for any aircraft that requires

a type rating. Regardless of whether this generic

curriculum is used, it is the responsibility of

each operator to update its curriculum as

necessary and to adapt that curriculum to the

specific aircraft, flight environment, and type

of flight operations that will be conducted. The

TPO should contain detailed information on

the type of operation, the training environment,

and completion standards. The instruction

provided in this curriculum is designed as

initial equipment training and consists of

approximately 50 hours of ground instruction,

15 hours of simulator or training device

instruction, and four flights in the airplane (15

hours, including ground time). The number of

hours is recommended and may be modified to

meet the training requirements.

d. Users of this AC should be aware that

qualification criteria exists in the most current

issues of AC 120-40, Airplane Simulator

Qualification; AC 120-45, Airplane Flight

Training Device Qualification; and part 121,

appendix H, Advanced Simulation Plan, for

flight simulators and flight training

devices.

e. The duration and specific content

of each lesson will depend on the aircraft for

which the type rating is sought and on the

type of the operation. For example, if the

aircraft is equipped with a simple autopilot,

the instruction on autoflight systems may

not take more than half an hour and can be

combined with another lesson. However, the

pilot may need to undergo more than 2 hours

of instruction before fully understanding the

operation of some sophisticated autopilots.

Examples of different types of operations

that may affect the length of each lesson are

visual flight rules (VFR) vs. instrument flight

rules (IFR) operations and single pilot vs.

two or more flight crewmembers. The

instructor should adjust the curriculum

accordingly, ensuring that the applicable

items contained in appendix 1 are covered.

f. Appendix 2 contains a revised list of

aircraft type designations which are placed on

pilot certificates.

g. Appendix 3 specifies the use of the

limitation area on the airman certificate for

operational restrictions associated with type

ratings, e.g., N-B-25, VFR ONLY or center

thrust limitations.

OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS

Applicants for type ratings on aircraft for which a type rating is required under 14 CFR section

61.31, and which are not listed in appendix 2, will be required to present evidence that at least

one aircraft of the type concerned has been issued an aircraft type certificate for civilian use.

NOTE: Since experimental aircraft are not issued type certificates, they are not eligible for

pilot type ratings.

The following operational restrictions pertaining to type ratings will appear as limitations

rather than as a part of the type rating on certificates:

1. Amphibian type ratings, such as CV-PBY5, will be repeated under limitations (Item XIII)

with appropriate restrictions; i.e., CV-PBY5 LIMITED TO SEA, unless proficiency has been

demonstrated on both land and water.

2. Type ratings restricted to VFR will be repeated under limitations (Item XIII) with

appropriate restrictions; i.e., N-B25, VFR ONLY.

Airplane Multiengine Class Rating Limited To Center Thrust

Airplane multiengine class ratings are issued based on either the successful completion of an

FAA practical test or on military qualification. A class rating issued for an airplane for which

no minimum control speed has been established by the manufacturer, shall be limited to center

thrust. The aircraft listed below are aircraft which are center thrust limited. A listing of

specific makes and models of military aircraft for which a center thrust limitation is not

required is also provided.

The FAA General Aviation and Commercial Division, AFS-800, determines any modifications

to these lists. When a determination is made by AFS-800, the manufacturer's data and 14 CFR

part 23 or part 25 criteria are used.

With Center Thrust Limitation Without Limitation

1. Cessna 336/337, T-37 1. Cessna A-37 Dragonfly

2. Fairchild Republic A-l0 Thunderbolt 2. Grumman American F-14 Tomcat

3. General Dynamics F-111

4. Grumman A6-E Intruder

5. McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom

6. McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle

7. Northrop/McDonnell-Douglas F-18A Hornet

8. Northrop T-38 Talon

9. Rockwell International T2 Buckeye

In the case of an applicant who requests the issuance of a multiengine class or type rating

based on military qualification in an aircraft not listed herein, but for which the manufacturer

has not provided documentary evidence of a minimum control speed for that aircraft, all

available data shall be forwarded to AFS-800 for review and evaluation to determine the

limitations necessary. It is expected that aircraft models will be added to, or deleted from, this

list by AFS-800 as circumstances warrant in the future.
