Dear Mr. Brickner :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explain s its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends.

The B asis for Our Decision

By letter dated September 3, 2015 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
on behalf of American Airlines for an extension of E xemption No. 11200. That exemption
from § 121.291(b)(1) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regu lations (14 CFR) allow s American
Airlines to add airplanes to its operating certificate without first conducting a partial demonstration of the emergency evacuation procedures.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the condition s and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption. However, you request an extended timeframe f or completion of the required demonstrations
based on updated timing of American’s post

- Single Operati ng Certificate scheduling efforts and discussions with your FAA certificate management office regarding scheduling
efficiencies.

In your September 3, 2015 petition, you request that the exemption be applicable to the ERJ

- 190

- 100, 757

- 200 and A330

- 243 ai rcraft that were previously operated by US Airways. The
FAA has determined that the 757

- 200 should have been included in the original grant of exemption. Therefore, we have amended the conditions and limitations accordingly.2

The FAA has determined that g ood 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 American Airlines

.

Our Decision

Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. §§ 106(g), 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administra tor has delegated to me, American Airlines is granted an extension and amendment to Exemption
No. 11200 for § 121.291(b)(1) which allow s American Airlines to add three airplane types to its operating certificate without first conducting a partial demonstr ation of the emergency evacuation procedures , subj ect to the conditions and limitations described below.
