Petition for Exemption 

Docket No.: FAA–2012–1349. 

Petitioner: Delta Air Lines, Inc. 

Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 

91.9(a). 

Description of Relief Sought: During 

installation via Supplemental Type 

Certificate (STC) of the on-board Wif’i 

system on Delta Air Lines’ 737–800 

fleet, a placard was placed on the flight 

deck prohibiting use of WiFi devices 

from the flight deck. As part of a 

turbulence incident mitigation research 

program, Delta Air Lines seeks relief to 

allow 40 Delta B737 Senior Line Check 

Airmen (LCA) to access a web-based 

enroute turbulence tool using the 

existing aircraft WiFi connection during 

the operational demonstration period of 

the research effort anticipated to last 

approximately 1 year, and only during 

non-critical phases of flight. Delta 

provides analysis demonstrating an 

equivalent level of safety through use of 

very low-power equipment and 

operational controls.
