Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2024-2186.
    Petitioner: Southwest Airlines.
    Sections of 14 CFR Affected: Sec. Sec.  45.11(b) and 45.13.
    Description of Relief Sought: Southwest Airlines (Southwest) 
requests relief from 14 CFR 45.11(b) and 45.13 when a CFM56-7B24, 
CFM56-7B27 or LEAP-1B28 series engine is found to be operating under 14 
CFR part 121 revenue service with a missing engine data plate. 
Southwest proposes that it should be permitted to manage a missing 
engine data plate as a Category D repair on its minimum equipment list 
and correct the condition within 120 calendar days excluding the day of 
discovery. However, if the engine OEM is unable to supply a new data 
plate within 120 calendar days, this condition must be corrected at the 
next convenient maintenance opportunity, but no later than the next 
engine removal from service for shop maintenance.
